The CC Jazz Quartet

Led by Chris, an arranger and jazz composer based in Sussex. His quartet provide thoughtful and subtle variations on the jazz theme to encompass Bossa Nova, Swing, Be-bop, smooth grooves and cool jazz styles of Miles Davis’ golden era. Their repertoire contains literally thousands of jazz classics such as Summertime, Take 5, Fly Me To The Moon, It Ain’t Got That Swing and lots more from the American songbook.

Chris is a trumpeter and pianist as well as being a band leader for 15 years. The importance of professionalism, timeliness, dress codes and flexibility are as important to him as musically adept bandsmanship that can just as easily enthrall and excite as it can blend into the backdrop of any high society function.

The Quartet have played for Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, Lord Mandelson, Crowne Prince Haakon, to name a few of the band’s more well-known clients. They have toured all over the world including events as far afield as Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait, Thailand and individually their members are regulars at UK summer venues such as “Appleby Jazz” and “Love Supreme Jazz Festival”

Quartet line-up includes Trumpet, Guitar (or piano), Double bass and Drums (or singer). The band is available with various smaller combinations depending on client needs, and can be booked as a quintet.
