Moses, Zwe, Kaz, and Ben:

The
 Kazemde 
George 
Quartet
 is 
driven 
by
 a
 focus
 on 
both 
improvisation 
and 
composition. 
Much 
of 
the
 band’s 
repertoire 
is 
composed 
by 
the
 leader, 
whose 
compositional 
approach 
is 
centered 
around 
creating 
interesting
 harmonic 
and 
rhythmic 
environments 
for 
group
 improvisation.
 The 
group 
dynamic 
is 
strong
 and 
unified; 
these 
musicians
 have 
been 
playing 
together 
for 
two 
years, 
and 
have 
had
 plenty 
of 
time 
to 
learn
 each
 other’s 
styles. 
The 
musicians 
draw 
influence 
and 
inspiration 
from
 a 
plethora 
of 
different 
artists 
within
 many
 different 
genres, 
including 
Jazz, 
Rock, 
Hip‐Hop, 
Funk,
 Classical, 
and
 others.
 Each 
musician 
is 
highly 
skilled 
and
 experienced, 
so 
though 
they
 share 
a 
strong 
musical 
vision, 
they 
are 
capable 
of 
playing
 in 
many 
styles 
and
 settings.


 Kazemde George (18) is a Jazz tenor saxophonist and composer with years of experience playing professionally in many different settings.
