James Bowers - My Quartet Album
2025 CD release
Naarm/Melbourne-based pianist James Bowers returns with My Quartet Album — a bold and emotionally charged follow-up to his acclaimed debut. Reuniting with long-time collaborators Marty Holoubek (bass) and Shun Ishiwaka (drums), and joined by trumpeter Ben Harrison, Bowers expands his sonic world with compositions that are as chaotic as they are cathartic.
From the crushing opener “Horse” to the warped nostalgia of “Him” and the glitchy reverence of “Snakey,” this is music full of contrast — muscular yet tender, unpolished but deeply intentional. Written specifically for this quartet, the album balances high-stakes improvisation with deep friendship and play.
Recorded live in Tokyo, My Quartet Album captures a band in full flight — brimming with risk, trust, and electric joy.
