Support from ‘Hard Deadline’

Hard Deadline are an upcoming jazz quartet aiming to bring modern small band jazz to new audiences. Their sound pushes the boundaries of what acoustic instruments can give, blending language from hard bop with experimental arrangements. Inspired by fusion-era energy and contemporary jazz aesthetics, the group balances tight, rhythmically driven writing with open, risk-taking improvisation.
