Soothe into the sweet sounds of the Chris Greene Quartet from the comfort of your home on Friday, June 26th at 7pm.
“...a hearty tone and sharp wit...a proud descendant of such 60s soul-jazz saxophonists as Gene Ammons and Eddie Harris.”
- DownBeat Magazine
“Chris Greene is a Chicago jazz treasure.”
- Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune.
The Chris Greene Quartet has been a highly visible part of Chicago’s jazz scene since 2005, and has maintained a stable lineup from the beginning, with the exception of Steve Corley, who has held the drum chair since 2011. Damian Espinosa on piano and keyboards and Marc Piane on acoustic and electric basses have been onboard since the beginning. Unique among Chicago bands, most of whom feature, by necessity, constantly shifting personnel, the CGQ has been able to develop a true group sound and feel, harking back to bands from the classic age of jazz when groups could stay together for long periods of time. While honoring the tradition, the CGQ incorporates elements of funk, hip-hop, rock, pop, the blues and reggae, reflecting their diverse backgrounds.
CGQ was also honored at the 2018 Chicago Music Awards with an award for “Best Jazz Entertainer” and won the “Best Jazz Band” category in the 2017 Chicago Reader “Best of Chicago” Poll.
Join us for an evening of music and art with WDCB and the sounds of the Chris Greene Quartet. You'll be able to watch the performance right at 7pm on June 26th or enjoy it for a later date with a downloadable link.

I am so thankful that a few of my fellow Batavian’s recommended the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to me. Since I joined I feel as though I have been blessed with a second family with all the support and motivation I get from them on a regular basis. Margaret, Patti and Shirley are the most amazing women. They have great passion for business and helping people. I truly feel they care about my business on a personal level and want to see it grow and succeed as much as I do! They have gone the extra mile to get my name and my business name out there and introduce me to the business community. The Chamber has so many opportunities available that have helped my business both grow and problem solve such as the free monthly Networking It events. I highly recommend the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to all business professionals.
