Originally launched as a studio project in 2014, the quartet has evolved into a live powerhouse, performing together since 2023. Blending influences from ambient, latin, rock, pop and electronica with improvised music, this is a very personal take on what jazz can be. Described as 'Cinematic Fusion for the Emotionally Curious'.
Al Swainger's Pointless Beauty invites you to experience a world where sound knows no limits. With a genre-fluid approach that blends spacey atmospheres, head-bobbing grooves, and immersive soundscapes, this ground-breaking ensemble pushes the boundaries of traditional music to create a fresh, modern sound that captivates and inspires.
