Empirical Wonder is the Beginning Available nothing was harderReal groups like Empirical are a rarity in contemporary jazz, where musicians so often come together for single projects then disperse again once they are done: groups that endure for fifteen years, without slackening in their quest for the new and the fresh, are all but unheard of. Having started their journey in 2007, Empirical now makes a triumphant return, re taking their rightful place at the centre of the UK scene with 'Wonder is the Beginning'.
