    The Chris Greene Quartet

    The Chris Greene Quartet has been a highly visible part of Chicago’s jazz scene since 2005, and has maintained a stable lineup from the beginning, with the exception of Steve Corley, who has held the drum chair since 2011. Damian Espinosa on piano and keyboards and Marc Piane on acoustic and electric basses have been onboard since the beginning.

    Unique among Chicago bands, most of whom feature, by necessity, constantly shifting personnel, the CGQ has been able to develop a true group sound and feel, harking back to bands from the classic age of jazz when groups could stay together for long periods of time. While honoring the tradition, the CGQ incorporates elements of funk, hip-hop, rock, pop, the blues and reggae, reflecting their diverse backgrounds.

    • ​Chris Greene - saxes
    • Damian Espinosa - piano
    • Marc Piane - bass
    • Steve Corley - drums

    Check out their website, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

  • March 4 @ 6:30PM-8:30PM

    Senya + Jack Buratczuk Quartet

    The Senya Rogers-Kaufman + Jack Buratczuk Quartet are four young musicians from the Chicago area consisting of the two guitarists as well as the talented Chase Wilkins on drums and Arlo Wohlgenant on the double bass. The group presents a passionate and yet intimate take on where a guitar can excel in jazz music through mostly original music coming from each member in the band.

    “Jaw dropping and astonishingly sophisticated, full of blazing fretboard technique and a deep reservoir of musical ideas.” – Chris Gillock, The Evanston Roundtable.
