Empirical is a British jazz quartet formed in 2007, known for their sophisticated and adventurous sound.

Empirical's music is characterized by complex harmonies, intricate rhythms, and a blend of post-bop improvisations with contemporary grooves. The group has been praised for their fearless approach to jazz, often incorporating unconventional performance settings, such as pop-up concerts in public spaces, to engage new audiences. Empirical has received numerous awards, including the Parliamentary Jazz Awards and MOBO Awards, and continues to be a leading figure in European jazz, with their latest album, "Wonder is the Beginning," showcasing their enduring creativity and musical depth.
