Jo Asker Quartet

Colorado bassist Jo Asker's instrumental ensemble of drums, bass, and saxophones features his all-original jazz compositions. Attractive to listeners with a wide array of musical taste, the trio or quartet evokes a simultaneously raucous and introspective listening experience. Jo's original tunes and the musicians joining him capitalize on fresh harmonic and rhythmic concepts while maintaining a sense of that "straight-ahead" jazz sound. Playing often at private parties, breweries, and the Crown Pub, this "chordless" ensemble curates a unique sonic environment akin to great jazz records such as Sonny Rollin's "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" and "Joe Henderson's State of the Tenor."
