The Brad Muirhead Quartet (BM4)

debut CD “OLD / IN / OUT / NEW

BM4 Cover@4x.png

This recording came together over four casually scheduled sessions in 2016 & 2017, working around everyone's busy schedules. It features Brad's current small band on some of the new material the group is currently performing as well as documenting some older material of his that has never been recorded. Some of it is very experimental, some straight ahead, and the rest somewhere between, hence the circular album title "OLD / IN / OUT / NEW". All of the tunes have been performed by the quartet, but some of them obviously lent themselves to fuller arrangements, so several more of Brad's musical cohorts were brought into the project, including vocals and a trombone section.
