The quartet is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting jazz bands emerging from the British scene. Taking inspiration from Chick Corea's 'Return To Forever' and Keith Jarrett's 'European Quartet', Tomorrow's New Quartet has been thrilling audiences all over the country with its engaging brand of modern jazz.

Led by drummer / composer Rod Oughton, the band released its debut album 'All Together, Now!' on the Ubuntu Music label in 2022. Following a successful launch tour, which culminated in a sold-out show at Pizza Express Dean Street, the album was named 'Editor's Choice' by Jazzwise Magazine and dubbed 'very fresh' by Jumoké Fashola on BBC Radio 3.

The band features two more young heavyweights from the next generation of British jazz, namely Deschanel Gordon on piano and Flo Moore on electric bass.

For their performance at SoundCellar, we are especially delighted that very special guest Ben van Gelder will be joining the quartet. Van Gelder is regarded internationally as a leading authority on the alto saxophone. Peers and critics alike praise him for his unique sound, lyricism and personal approach to composition. Van Gelder moved to New York when he was seventeen and spent a decade collaborating and studying with some of the most progressive artists in the world. His teachers included Guillermo Klein, Jason Moran and Lee Konitz. Van Gelder currently resides in The Netherlands and teaches at the Conservatory of Amsterdam
