The Blake Wilner Quartet is considered one of the most exciting, individualistic and innovative young jazz groups performing in the UK at the moment. The quartet - Blake Wilner on guitar, Chris Hutchings on drums, Brandon Allen on saxes and Oli Hayhurst on bass - was featured on May's Jazzwise compilation CD of Cheltenham Jazz Festival artists, and its own debut album, The Reprieve, reached the finals of the Sony International Jazz Competition for independent recordings. Last autumn, Wilner was featured in a Jazz Review article entitled 'Ten musicians you must hear'. His compositions have many stylistic influences: swing, groove, minimalism and pop, and The Reprieve features arrangements of contemporary pieces by artists such as Bob Marley and Tom Waits
