About this Event
The Chris Greene Quartet comes of age! Led by native-Evanstonian saxophone giant Chris Greene, the CGQ has been together for 21 years. Featuring Damian Espinosa on piano and keyboards, Marc Piane on acoustic and electric bass, and drummer Steve Corley, the band’s unique chemistry is the result of having this stable lineup for most of those 21 years. It has been one of the most highly visible units on Chicago’s fertile jazz scene, critically lauded and a three-time recipient of the Chicago Reader’s “Best of Chicago” Readers Poll as “Best Jazz Ensemble”. The band’s music respects the heritage and history of Jazz, America’s Black creative music, while incorporating elements of funk, hip-hop, rock, Afro-Cuban music, the blues, and reggae, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of the band members. The CGQ is currently celebrating the release of “Conversance”, the first-ever jazz album released by Pravda Records, Chicago’s longest-running indie-rock label. Now you can buy them a whiskey!
