FAMILY BAND
Kim Macari - trumpet
Riley Stone-Lonergan - tenor sax
Tom Rivière – bass
Steve Hanley - drums
Family Band is a ‘chordless quartet’ and a jazz ensemble of equals where there is no leader. All members compose works and the group was founded in 2015. Their 2023 album received critical acclaim “an extraordinary vibrancy that feels like it blows through the last seventy years of jazz history.” Kim originated in Fife and is one of the most prolific personalities and activists in the UK jazz scene.
'One of the best modern jazz groups performing at the moment' - Bebop Spoken Here
