The Modern Deep Left Quartet is the original name of the Cobbleston Jazz trio... when it was a four-piece band with The Mole in it. The Mole has returned last year but the group decided not to change their name again. They record together but due to geographical reasons, they usualy play live as a Cobblestone Jazz trio. Gigs tagged with The Modern Deep Left Quartet live are those special occasions when all four meet on stage. Audioriver is one of them.

Cobblestone Jazz uses early computers and analog instruments to create pared down sounds that retain the quality of improvisational jazz within the parameters of a minimal, dance-floor aesthetic. Through a real-time exchange of musical form, language, and ideas, Tyger Dhula, Mathew Jonson, Danuel Tate and The Mole provide a continual sense of surprise and discovery for their listeners.

Since their 2002 debut release, The 5th Element, Cobblestone Jazz have received critical acclaim for their releases on IIWII, Wagon Repair and this year on K7 with their latest LP. The band's support from diverse international DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Daniel Bell, Gilles Peterson, Luciano, Josh Wink, Sven Vath , Richie Hawtin, Dan Curtin, Carl Craig, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Joe Clausell and many others, shows the quartet's appeal is broad.

They have performed internationally from Fabric in London to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Their music is created in one take, either culled from live performances or studio mixes, and their live shows are a representation of how they create music. These performances give audiences a fresh perspective on the genius of Mathew Jonson as well as the future of electronic music itself.
