Chris Byars Quartet - Look Ahead

Since 2007 bandleader/saxophonist Chris Byars has recorded for SteepleChase 12 highly acclaimed albums.

All the releases highlight Byars' trademark skills as composer/arranger for larger ensembles. Here for the first time in 15 years Byars writes for a quartet setting displaying a laid-back side of the masterfully innovative performing composer.

Byars is in the pantheon of the contemporary breed of composer-bandleaders...original and thoroughly eclectic. - W. Friedwald - New York Sun
