Saxes and trumpet quartet Brass Jaw don’t take themselves too seriously, but a failure to take their musicianship seriously would be no laughing matter. Now a decade on from first having been formed initially as a saxophone quartet, the four-piece: baritone sax player Allon Beauvoisin; alto saxophonist Paul Towndrow; tenorist Konrad Wiszniewski; and trumpeter Ryan Quigley, together are one of the most ubiquitous bands around and often turn up in the most unusual places: in hotel lobbies, out and about at festivals “on the move”, at train stations, as well as in concert halls, festivals and clubs. Possibly the most mobile band on the scene with some of the most fiendishly circuitous bop and hard bop arrangements going Brass Jaw have won at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards and the Scottish Jazz Awards and their highly arranged harmonic and fast bebop style has been specially moulded for maximum impact in a live situation. Their new album Minted recorded at Sherbrooke St Gilbert's Church, Glasgow earlier this year is released on 31 August and this latest album follows 2010’s Branded, Deal With It from the year before and Burn back in 2006.
