Lineup: Dan Smith - Alto Saxophone, Harry Brunt - Tenor Saxophone, Pete Komor - Double Bass, Matt Parkinson - Drums - Howl Quartet is an award winning UK based project whose dynamic, expressive music focuses heavily on storytelling through melodic composition and improvisation.

Following the successes of their first two releases, Howl Quartet released their third album, Night Song, in 2025 . Formed of old friends and collaborators, this co-led acoustic quartet emerged in 2017 through a passion for developing a collective sound.

Taking inspiration from artists such as Endangered Blood, The Bad Plus and Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band, there is an innate freedom and creative intensity to their music.Having performed at the EFG London Jazz Festival and Vortex Jazz Club, Howl Quartet’s debut album Life As We See It was released in early 2021 with the support of the Help Musicians ‘Do It Differently’ fund.

Their second album, Airglow, refined their sound and was released on the 14th July 2023 to critical acclaim.
