THE JOHN CRITCHINSON/ART THEMEN QUARTET

THE JOHN CRITCHINSON/ART THEMEN QUARTETFormed in 1995 by the coming together of 4 established Jazz Musicians.

DAVE GREEN - Double Bass
DAVE BARRY - Drums
ART THEMEN - Saxophones
JOHN CRITCHINSON - Piano

This unique Quartet is a creative unit with a distinct musical personality.

"Anyone who has seen either of the joint leaders at work will know that they not only hugely enjoy their wonderfully spirited & good humoured music, but communicate their enjoyment. Nobody is trying to prove anything, conform to any kind of party line or dazzle us with technique - although there is plenty of it in evidence." Dave Gelly.

The Quartet appears at Jazz Festivals in the UK and Europe plus many UK jazz venues. The Quartet's CD 'First Moves' is now out of print but it is being considered for re-issue by Trio Records.
