Charlotte Keeffe’s unique approach and passion for jazz, experimental and freely improvised
music sees her performing regularly as a soloist and as part of a variety of different ensembles,
including her own Quartet. The Charlotte Keeffe Quartet performed a sellout performance at
Lancaster Jazz Festival in 2019 and their live recording from Jazz in the Round has been played
regularly on radio stations across the UK and internationally.
Her Quartet features Ashley John Long on double bass, Ben Handysides on drums, Moss Freed
on guitar and herself on trumpet and flugelhorn; they explore merging together Charlotte’s more
composed music with free improvising. The Charlotte Keeffe Quartet can be heard on Discus
Music’s Right Here, Right Now (spring 2021) release, alongside a selection of her improvised
works for solo, duo and large ensembles.
“Fresh on the scene, trumpeter Charlotte Keeffe is a whirlwind of extended techniques and tactile
puzzles, removing the mouthpiece to elicit a windy howl, using her left hand as a mute in the bell
of the horn and revelling in restless possibilities.” Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise Magazine
This concert is presented by Jazz North East in association with Jazz.Coop at The Globe.
