TNL/Jazz at HEART: Bridge Quartet
UK tour of the Scandinavian-British Bridge Quartet, paying tribute to Sonny Rollins’ iconic ‘The Bridge’ record
Inspired by the legendary collaboration between saxophonist Sonny Rollins and guitarist Jim Hall, a partnership immortalised on their record ‘The Bridge’, the new Scandinavian-British Bridge Quartet was set up by British guitarist James Girling after he moved to Norway. Bringing together compatriot saxophonist Dave Edge and the formidable young rhythm section of Danish drummer Emil Norman and Norwegian double bassist Andreas Svabø, this all-Oslo-based quartet establishes a conduit between British and Scandinavian musicians for expressing their shared love of the American modern jazz tradition against a contemporary northern European backdrop.
Bridge Quartet’s debut project pays tribute to Sonny Rollins’ iconic ‘The Bridge’, played in its entirety alongside gems from Rollins’ following album ‘What’s New’: all recorded within a few months in early 1962 by Rollins’ quartet of Hall, Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Ben Riley (drums).
Bridge Quartet are touring the UK in July 2026, returning by popular request after their debut UK tour in 2025 – the same year saxophone colossus Rollins turned 95.
Dave Edge (UK) – tenor sax, James Girling (UK) – guitar, Andreas Svabø (NO) – double bass, Emil Norman (DK) – drums
