The Tim Knowles Quartet are a dynamic contemporary jazz ensemble composed of four rising stars of the British scene. Crisp, folk-inflected compositions underpin vibrant exchanges – from the tender to the ecstatic – between saxophonist Emma Johnson (Emma Johnson’s Gravy Boat), double bassist John Pope (John Pope Quintet; Archipelago), drummer Sarah Heneghan (Power Out), and guitarist/bandleader Tim Knowles.

With an incorrigible and genre defying musical curiosity, Tim has cut his teeth with nu-jazz upstarts Beyond Albedo, poetry/music crossover project Genevieve Carver and the Unsung, and post-minimalist improvisers Emergence Collective. In the summer of 2020 Tim recruited some of his favourite musicians to form a new band, playing his original melody-driven material and forging a new path for himself as a bandleader and composer. The Tim Knowles quartet deliver a beguiling sound, an exhilarating live performance and a fresh take on what jazz can be.
