The Brian Horton Quartet is deeply rooted in the traditions of blues, groove and jazz music. The Durham, North Carolina based ensemble explores multi-cultural rhythms and encourages improvisation, revisiting jazz standards with fresh ideas to craft original, spontaneous composition. The band developed through the study of masters—such as jazz greats Dexter Gordon, Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus—as well as through new, global urban grooves.

The Brian Horton Quartet was selected to tour Asia from mid-May through mid-June, 2009. Scheduled stops included Kazakhstan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan.
