THE CLASSIC JAZZ QUARTET

Kvartetten har existerat sedan år 2005 och består av fyra kvalificerade musikanter från Stockholm. De älskar att spela såväl hot jazz som evergreens och ballader. Genom att variera instrumentering kan olika stilar och sound skapas. Altsaxofon och rhythm guitar kan bytas ut mot klarinett och banjo. Bandet fungerar utmärkt med sångerska eller gästsolist.

The band consists of four qualified musicians from Stockholm, Sweden. They love playing hot jazz but also nice tunes like evergreens and ballads. By varying the instrumentation different styles and sounds can be achieved. Saxophone and accoustic rhythm guitar can bechanged to clarinet and banjo.
