This is one of the new wave young bands to come out recently on the
excellent Edition records. Should be a good live gig. The following
week is the Dave Staplerton Quintet which is totally to die for. I've
seen them live twice and they totally blew me away.

Dear All,
This coming Friday evening, for our penultimate club night at Komedia,
we are delighted to welcome rising stars Kairos 4tet on a national
tour promoting the release of thier new CD 'Statement of Intent'. The
following is by John Styles from our website:
Adam Waldmann Saxophone
Ivo Neame Piano
Jasper Høiby Bass
Jon Scott Drums
The members of Kairos 4tet are four of the freshest talents on the UK
jazz scene, yet such is the impact that they have already made
collectively and individually, they will be familiar to many
listeners. The band seem destined to develop a strong presence in
jazz, to rank alongside Partisans and Perfect Houseplants.
Bandleader Adam first played for us last summer, with the Sam Crowe
Group, a unit that also includes Jasper. Such was the impact of that
gig, and hearing Adam's debut band CD Kairos Moment, that tonight's
appearance became a necessity. The debut recording and the new CD,
Statement of Intent, (launched on this tour) confirm the buzz about
Adam's talents as a saxophonist and composer; he acknowledges the
influence of his teachers and mentors such as Mark Lockheart and
Julian Argüelles, as well as the wider appeal of Miles, Joe Henderson,
Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and many others.
Jasper is of course one of the most hotly-tipped talents of recent
years, as leader of Phronesis, with Jim Hart's Gemini and the Loop and
F-ire Collectives. The third Phronesis CD Alive was rated Jazz Album
of the Year 2010 by both Jazzwise and Mojo. It features Ivo, another
multi-talented player who has gigged with Stan Sulzmann, Tim Garland,
Jim Mullen, and Gerard Presencer. His own band have recorded Caught In
The Light of Day (Edition Records).
Jon is now London-based after gigging in Manchester; he's performed
with Byron Wallen, Alec Dankworth, Martin Speake, Nikki Iles, Yuri
Goloubev and Mike Walker. A major part of the group's sound, he is
also currently working with the Pete Hurt and Hannes Riepler Quartets,
Carlos Lopez-Real's Mandorla and Anglo-German collaboration Paragon.

Hope to see you there,
Very best wishes,
Tim Haillay
