Michael Jefry Stevens Quartet
Performing in the jazz quartet format has always been one of my most comfortable and expressive musical formats. Probably half of my recorded output is in the quartet format. Many of my long-standing projects have been in the quartet format including The Fonda/Stevens Group, Conference Call Quartet, Eastern Boundary Quartet, Generations Quartet, The Katie Bull Project, and the Lily White Band. Additionally, I continue to be involved with several vocalists, also in the quartet format. These include Wendy Jones, Joyce Cobb, Miles Griffith, Nicole Metzger and Brian “Breeze” Cayolle.
Currently I am involved in two quartet projects of note. The first is the quartet featuring Rick Dilling (drums), Zack Page (bass) and Todd Wright (saxophone). This ensemble is featured on my “Red’s Blues” CD release. The second quartet features Christian Howes (violin), Rick Dilling (drums) and Bryan McConnell (bass). This quartet is featured on my latest CD release “Precipice”.
