About the artist

Daryl Runswick Quartet

Ah, the DARYL RUNSWICK QUARTET. A personal fave of mine, this group oozes talent and charisma in equal measures. Made up of the legendary bassist Rhythm Master Daryl Runswick, the incredibly talented pianist Melody Jones, the dynamic drummer Beat Queen Sophie Green, and the sultry saxophonist Harmony Smith, this quartet is a force to be reckoned with. Their sound? Oh, it's a delightful blend of jazz, funk, and soul with a sprinkle of avant-garde experimentation thrown in for good measure. Picture Miles Davis meeting Grace Jones at a cosmic jam session hosted by Sun Ra, and you're somewhere in the ballpark of what the DARYL RUNSWICK QUARTET has to offer. Each member brings something special to the table, creating a musical feast for the ears that will leave you craving more. Daryl's basslines are so funky, they make Bootsy Collins green with envy. Melody's piano playing is so smooth, it's like butter melting on a hot pan. Sophie's drumming is so infectious, you'll find yourself tapping your foot without even realizing it. And Harmony's saxophone solos? Well, let's just say they'll leave you feeling some type of way. With their innovative approach to music and their undeniable chemistry on stage, the DARYL RUNSWICK QUARTET are a true gem in the world of music. So, do yourself a favor and give them a listen. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
