    Pretty sure 'Knee-deep in the North Sea' is the best way to start the morning listening

Description

The Portico Quartet are a 4-piece modern jazz group from London. Their sound is made distinctive by the use of the hang, a 21st Century percussion instrument used on all their tracks. They comprise <span title="Unknown artist" class="bbcode_unknown">Jack Wyllie</span> (soprano and alto saxophone), <span title="Unknown artist" class="bbcode_unknown">Duncan Bellamy</span> (hang and percussion), <a href="http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/music/Milo+Fitzpatrick" class="bbcode_artist">Milo Fitzpatrick</a> (double bass), and <a href="http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/music/Nick+Mulvey" class="bbcode_artist">Nick Mulvey</a> (hang and percussion).  After nearly two years of playing mainly small gigs and busking regularly outside the National Theatre in London, they signed to Babel Label in 2007. Their first album, Knee-deep in the North Sea was released on 5th November 2007, [1] coupled with performances at the London Jazz Festival at Purcell Room together with pianist Michiel Borstlap and drummer Bill Bruford.  The album was nominated for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize
