about

"Greene has managed, through the process of recording and arranging, to turn the music itself into science...[Chris] has shown that pop, rock and R&B tunes can all exist on a jazz record because, stripped to their very core, they are all music. What a great discovery."
-All About Jazz.com

"This is a contemporary masterpiece that will hopefully help bring jazz to the masses...This tight-knit band has a great future if they can continue to mine this rich vein of musical gold that they have discovered.”
-Jazz Police.com

"Greene and his quartet dish up a tasty brew that mixes soul, jazz, R&B and pop into the enjoyable mix."
-JazzChicago.net

"...what are the jazz world needs...Overall, [the album] lives up to its name, show-casing a young hungry band full of fire and thoughtfulness and diverse influences and not afraid to mix it up and show it off."
-Knock the Hustle.com

“Their mastery of their respective instruments shines through on each note…[they] have a rock solid sound, and regardless of if they playing written music or dabbling in the freeform/experimental side of jazz, they pull it off smoothly…smart jazz, that’s easily enjoyed and appreciated by the occasional jazz fan or the longtime jazz connoisseur.”
-ChicagoAtHome.com

“Burnin' saxophonist Greene keeps the tempos up with his equally hard-working rhythm section.”
-Time Out Chicago

“an up-and-coming player who really hits hard with a tight, no-nonsense approach.”
-DustyGroove.com

“The funkiest brother on the planet. Maceo [Parker] better watch out.”
WVOF, Fairfield, CT

about

At a time when jazz continues to seek new audiences, the Chris Greene Quartet sits poised on the future’s cusp. In much the ... more way that classical composers have historically used native folk elements as the basis for their art, the CGQ uses familiar modern materials – the funk and hip-hop saxophonist Chris Greene heard growing up – as a bridge between jazz and other genres. less
