The Quartet Brings you a mix of
Nu-Jazz / Pop / Latin / Brazilian Soul Rhythms

Even before Christine Spero began recording with her dynamic quartet, she was earning numerous accolades for her melodic, emotionally powerful and soulful songwriting and was Winner of the USA Songwriting Competition/Jazz category.

She was also a finalist with "Caribbean Nights," a festive tropical celebration that typifies the joyful exotica that drives her second recording, “My Spanish Dream”( 2007), a rich Brazilian/Latin/world fusion offering that dances blithely between pop and jazz. The project was produced by Elliot Spero, who doubles on soprano and tenor sax and percussion. The group shared the stage here @ GHFJ in 2006 with Kim Waters, Walter Beasley, Mike Phillips, and such notables as: Kevin Eubanks, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Dr John and Melanie. The group has been covered in USA Today, Billboard, Jazz Times, JAZZIZ, Keyboard and Recording Magazines, ASCAP Playback, Time Out N.Y., Village Voice, NPR & PBS . “My Spanish Dream” is receiving airplay in 20 countries.
