Matthew Kilner Quartet

The Matthew Kilner Quartet is a brand-new ensemble that features Alyn Cosker, Paul Harrison, and Ali Watson. The synergy from all four musicians coming together demonstrates cutting-edge improvisation and interplay. The band performs all original music that draws on inspiration from Matthew’s hometown of Aberdeen, which is home to stunning coastal environments, rich cultures and an eclectic mix of locals. The music is firmly in the jazz tradition with strong influences being taken from both the American modal jazz movement and European folk-like contemporary jazz, as championed by such musicians as Jan Garbarek, Jakob Bro and Phil Bancroft. Matthew recently recorded his debut album “The Space In Between” with help from Creative Scotland, release on 7th March 2025.
