Breaking trail for Brazilian music in North America, and with a 4 star DownBeat review, Dexter Payne Quintet has a unique sound, rooted in Brazilian traditional choro from the early 20th century and expanding through forro and modern choro jazz. The line up features clarinet, accordion, 7-string guitar, piano and percussion/drums. This is real music, articulate, entertaining, even educational. The Quintet brings it! The music is not just live… it’s alive!
