Casey Whyte Quartet

A London concert by the Casey Whyte Quartet, led by violinist and composer Casey Whyte, at Toulouse Lautrec. The group plays original pieces that blend contemporary jazz with folk.

Casey Whyte plays violin and composes for the group, drawing on an Irish background. Folk influences run through parts of the repertoire, set alongside original compositions rooted in contemporary jazz and some arrangements.

The quartet came together at the Royal Academy of Music. Will Inscoe plays piano, Zaki Osahn bass and Cian Burton drums, forming a line-up around Casey's violin.

Toulouse Lautrec hosts concerts and shows in London and has a ground-floor restaurant, so a meal can be taken before or after the performance. The evening suits listeners interested in contemporary jazz and Irish-rooted folk.
