Welcome to The Full Circle Quartet website, where you will find all you need to know about this wonderful quartet and their music.
The Full Circle Quartet is based in the South of England. They play their own brand of self-penned and self-arranged contemporary music taking their influence from jazz, classical and soundtrack music.
The origins of ‘Full Circle’ lie with the visionary bandleader and bassist Terry Pack who conceived the idea for a quartet based on strong, clear melodic composition and the synergy and interplay between the musicians.
The Full Circle Quartet is: Saxophonist, Josephine Davies, who was voted Jazz Instrumentalist of the year in the 2019 Parliamentary Jazz Awards; Pianist, Joss Peach, a BAFTA Award winning television composer; Double Bassist, Terry Pack, session musician and composer with nearly 50 years of professional playing experience, and Drummer, Angus Bishop, session musician and composer.

“Full Circle (is) set to take the European scene by storm …
a rare treat not to be missed.”
– Claire Martin, BBC Radio 3.
“it’s hard not to single out Davies, nightingale blithe on soprano and variously dark toned, even vicious on tenor. “
– Jazzwise Magazine .
“Wow ! What an album [The South Downs Suite]. I love Josephine’s sound and inventiveness in her playing. Pianist, Bassist and Drummer are all top drawer. A very classy album indeed. Thoroughly recommended for any jazz enthusiast. Go and buy it . You will not be disappointed . On this basis, I would gladly book the band for my Jazz club.”
