DeChamplain Quartet
Jazz Brunch, October 6, 2019
11:00 am-2:00 pm, The Delaney House

This diverse ensemble features some of New England's finest musicians including Atla DeChamplain (vocals), Matt DeChamplain (piano), Chris Morrison (guitar) and Matt Dwonszyk (bass). Together they present a wide range of music covering their unique arrangements of traditional jazz, swing, bebop & postbop favorites as well as vocalese and original compositions. The quartet creates the energy of a large ensemble from an intimate, acoustic group. Known for their dexterous facility and creative improvisation, the quartet brings humility and humor to the bandstand as they share with audiences the music they love.

“Matt DeChamplain plays with amazing dexterity and superb taste while covering the history of jazz piano from ragtime and stride to modern.” –Hartford Jazz Society

“I’ve known Atla for some years now and I must say, she has been moving by leaps and bounds towards stardom as a jazz vocalist. Last time I heard her she was soundin’ like someone ready to git up and go wherever she wants to.” –John Hendricks
