about

When four musicians come together with a shared conception of musical values, the result is bigger than the sum of its parts. When we perform or record, the trust we have in each other allows a great deal of freedom. In fact, it's very liberating as a player to understand your role – not to feel confined by musical responsibilities, but to acknowledge and use them as the foundation for creation.

The musical landscape that the Harvey / O'Higgins Project inhabits is neither innovative or fashion-led. There is however, a thread in jazz that has continued from its origins in the small groups of the swing era, through bebop and up to the present day, that embodies the aesthetic of harmonic integrity ('making the changes') coupled with rhythmic coherence ('being in the pocket'). This is where we exist.

It's not a lack of creativity that leads us to explore the standard repertoire and forms of jazz. Instead, these forms provide the canvas for improvisation and dialogue. The tradition of jazz provides an infinite horizon to experiment and create. Just as a Bach fugue is open to a myriad of creative interpretations, so is the blues or a great standard.

We have known each other for many years now, and it's extremely satisfying to be on stage with such swinging musicians. Swing is at the core of what we do, of course with ballad, latin and groove variations.
