David Murray Quartet feat. Francesca Cinelli

David Murray grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to New York in the 1970s, where he played in the city's loft jazz scene. Alongside Hamiet Bluiett, Julius Hemphill and Oliver Lake he co-founded the World Saxophone Quartet, a group of four saxophones with no rhythm section.

His own discography runs to well over a hundred records as a leader, on tenor and bass clarinet, in settings from duos to an octet and big band. He has also worked with Senegalese musicians and with Guadeloupean gwo ka drummers, and he played in Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition. In the David Murray Quartet he plays with a rhythm section, with singer Francesca Cinelli featured.
