For his first full-length studio album for Ubuntu Music, Portrait, London-based pianist and composer Bruno Heinen has gathered together a truly outstanding quartet he calls The W. As he told Sebastian in an interview in May 2022, this name was chosen as “like the four equal lines that make up the letter W, the four of us come together as one in performance.” The album’s cover illustrates this with its four section grid that allocates equal space to each musician, perhaps in the style of the Beatles’ Let It Be album sleeve.
