In anticipation of their forthcoming album, The Ben Haskins Quartet release their bold new single ‘Apocryphal’ this February. Recorded during the summer of 2021, this track displays the dynamic and diverse sound of this tenor and guitar led quartet as well as Haskins’ strong compositional voice.
Taking influence from artists such as Wolfgang Muthspiel and Ambrose Akinmusire the composition uses a driving 6/8 groove coupled with changes in metre to foster an unpredictable melody and thrilling rhythmic interaction. A tenor and drums driven solo takes the track into new territory and pays tribute to tenor masters such as John Coltrane, Steve Grossman and Joe Henderson.
