What is Four by Four?

JAZZ quartet meets STRING quartet

Four by Four is an innovative approach to the classic concept of jazz with strings, meshing a jazz quartet and a string quartet to present exciting, original music that’s sure to keep your foot tapping. The band was founded by bassist Dan Chmielinski and features world class, Juilliard-trained musicians. Four by Four has performed at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola three years in a row, most recently featuring Jazz at Lincoln Center founder Wynton Marsalis as a guest artist with the band. Four by Four also performed in Philadelphia, playing two sold out sets backing up award winning, world renowned vocalist Laurin Talese.
