Described as “Brilliant and fascinating music” by Jamie Cullum, The David Duffy quartet explores ambient electronic jazz with a distinct Scandinavian influence to intricate compositions featuring complex time signatures. They effortlessly blur the boundaries between contemporary classical, jazz, electronica, and post-rock, creating something that BBC Music magazine described as “Thoroughly captivating”
With an international line up of David Duffy on electronics, double bass & electric bass (IRL), Marc Martin on piano (CAT), Emil Nerstrand (SWE) on Sax/Clarinet, and Davy Ryan on drums (IRL). The live show incorporates dynamic bespoke lighting, captivating visuals and poetry, taking the audience on a journey into the realms of altered states, birth, and the search for meaning. More than a standard concert, David takes years of theatre training into the live show to create something truly immersive
