Quarteto Nuevo Music

Quarteto Nuevo effectively melds the music of ancient worlds and faraway places into a new jazz groove that enchants audiences of all ages! The ensemble's razor-sharp precision is enhanced by improvised interludes, lightly rumbling percussion motifs and mesmerizing rhythms. Winners of the Beverly Hills National auditions, Quarteto's master musicians create emotionally charged soundscapes with instruments and sensibilities that represent very different world cultures. Their unique instrumentation - soprano saxophone (Damon Zick), cello (Jacob Szekely), guitar (Kenton Youngstrom), and hand percussion (Felipe Fraga) - richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire, from Egberto Gismonti's "Cego Aderaldo" and Chick Corea's "Children's Song No. 6" to Milcho Leviev's "Women's Dance" and original works "Hector, Desmond, and Titus", "Rain Song" and "Dizer O Que". Quarteto Nuevo has performed for sold-out audiences throughout the western U.S., Canada, and the Southeast.
