Boston-born guitarist Alexander Baboian leads a powerful new Jazz quartet featuring a rhythm section of upcoming talented players from Antwerp. The group presents the classic Jazz language in an inspiring way with the cool crisp lines of the guitar upfront, solid improvisation and powerful band interplay through fresh interpretations of repertoire by great Jazz composers from the 50's and 60's such as Horace Silver, Kenny Dorham, Billy Strayhorn, Wayne Shorter, Charles Mingus and John Coltrane. Described by renowned music educator Hal Crook in JazzWax as a "future major voice in jazz," and by All About Jazz as "a superb composer, an original improviser, and an apt bandleader," Alexander graduated from the renowned Berklee College of Music in 2014 where he was recognized with awards for outstanding achievement from the guitar department and represented the college in major festivals such as the Washington DC Jazz Festival, Boston Beantown Jazz Festival, and the JEN Jazz Conference. He was invited to Belgium in 2021 on scholarship from the VLUHR for his master's studies in Antwerp and has had the pleasure of appearing at major venues and festivals in Europe such as the Bimhuis Amsterdam, Music Village Brussels, A-Trane Berlin, U Malého Glena Prague and Opus Club Budapest.
