The debut album, Stretch, by the Rob Lavers Quartet was recorded in a live room. It brings the band into the same room as the listener, and captures the immediacy of the jazz language.

Track 2, Stretch, pulls the listener outside the realm of melody into a more intimate conversation between players. It then settles back into an exotic atmosphere. By contrast, Track 8, The Chan Clan, is a more explosive piece and delivers colorful and virtuosic solos. Overall this album encompasses a full spectrum from classical and latin to modern jazz.

Collie, Dekeny, Perry and Lavers fuse effortlessly, displaying a coherent and vibrant interpretation of these 8 original compositions. The quartet’s 2005 UK tour, sponsored by Jazz Services, was well received in cities including Brighton, Leicester, Hull, York, Gloucester and London.
