Production details

Portico Quartet are four young musicians who play melodic, rhythmic music that mixes the inspiration of Philip Glass and Steve Reich with a very contemporary kind of jazz improvisation. It's the blend of ethereal saxophone, the steel pan-like Hang, clattering drums and earthy double-bass that gives their music it's inimitable, beautiful sound. Their dance friendly brand of hook-laden, post-jazz was honed busking across Europe and playing in unusual spaces; churches, galleries, chill-out zones and has earned them a cult following. They have created an inimitable sound that has been compared to the Penguin Café Orchestra, EST and The Cinematic Orchestra amongst others.
