Tim Garland at Turner Sims

About

For years now, Tim Garland’s playing and composition have less reflected ‘influences’ than styles he has mastered – everything from Celtic music to Yellowjackets fusion, from free improvisation to classical performance, from ECM ‘third stream’ to left-field electro-acoustics. As a composer, he uses his native eclecticism and phenomenal technique to make telling and often surprising connections; as a bandleader, he creates spaces in which other musicians will surprise themselves. His electrifying quartet unites these two strands of his career in one remarkable project, melding his musical experiences together in a dynamic and virtuosic set full of interplay, sensitivity and vision.
