I always enjoy discovering new groups that successfully fuse various genres, coming up with a unique sound that showcases their individual musicianship. 4te, with members from Hong Kong and Taiwan, is a jazz quartet that delivers their collective knowledge that combines elements, style, and melody that line up perfectly while accenting the power of the musical term ‘forte’ for which the band has taken their name.On their debut release “City Jazz” available as a stereo Hybrid-SACD from evosound, the supergroup reimagines ten Cantonese and Japanese classics into a melding of fusion, smooth, and modern jazz that is a magical combination of musical worlds. Comprised of leader and musical director, producer, and pianist Kriz B, drummer Hang Tzu “Fish” Yu, guitarist Alan Kwan and bassist Tsang Tak Hong, the group reels out exciting, well-thought-out arrangements and a seamless flow of the album right from the start.
