The Claudia Quintet -- John Hollenbeck (drummer and composer), Chris Speed (clarinet/tenor saxophone), Red Wierenga (accordion), Chris Tordini (bass), and Matt Moran (vibraphone) has walked a unique path through contemporary jazz since their founding in the late '90s. Hollenbeck's original compositions skillfully reveal the exceptional artistry of each musician.
Formed by composer / drummer / arranger John Hollenbeck in 1997, this New York City ensemble explores the edge without alienating the mainstream, proving that genre-defying music can be for everyone. Over the past decade, the group has released CDs that are critically acclaimed worldwide and that appeal to listeners including but also extending well beyond traditional jazz audiences. The Claudia Quintet has amazed audiences from Alabama to the Amazon. Their unique sound has inspired dancing hippie girls at a New Mexico noise festival, the avant-garde cognoscenti in the concert halls of Vienna and São Paolo, and a generation of young musicians worldwide. In the course of the thousands of miles its members have traveled together and the hundreds of concerts they've played, the Claudia Quintet has evolved and grown, developing a dynamic live sound based on trust and spontaneity. They bring this powerful energy into the studio, where they record the old-fashioned waylive, playing as a band.
