Join us for a live taping and listening-room concert for the Chase Baird Quartet! Chase Baird - Tenor Saxophone Carter Arrington - Guitar Sam Pankey - Bass Adam Jackson - Drums Part experimental rocker, part classical romantic and part hard-bop devotee, saxophonist and composer Chase Baird has been described as "... the future of jazz music and the saxophone" by Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Randy Brecker. His latest album, A Life Between, covers a vast emotional terrain with a band comprised of modern jazz’s most revered innovators. Pianist Brad Mehldau and drummer Antonio Sánchez are veteran companions alongside new-generation talents Nir Felder, guitar, and Dan Chmielinski, bass. Critics have declared the album “…a truly inspired, dare we say, epic recording complete with progressive singularities and sonic cosmicalities.” Chase has worked as a sideman with pop icon Chaka Khan, legendary Chicago vocalist Bill Champlin as well as indie-rocker Jakob Dylan. In the jazz realm, he has performed or recorded with Chris Botti, Brad Mehldau, Antonio Sánchez, Mike Stern, Antonio Faraò, Mike Clark, Victor Wooten, Thana Alexa, Dennis Chambers, Julian Pollack (J3PO), Dan Tepfer, Thomas Dawson, Steve Lyman and others. During 2017 - 2020, Chase performed as an active member of drummer Antonio Sánchez’s band Migration, recording both saxophone and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) on the groups’ acclaimed album Lines In The Sand. He also recorded and toured with multi-generational progressive jazz ensemble Venture, featuring drum legend Mike Clark, multi-instrumentalist Mark Sherman and electric bassist Felix Pastorius. Venture explores hard-bop roots and accents of funk and fusion on their first studio collaboration, Life Cycle, released on Ropeadope Records in May 2018. Chase plays exclusively EWI with all-synthesizer band Circuit Kisser, created by collaborator Dan “Chimy“ Chmielinski. The band’s most recent album, First Kiss, released on La Reserve Records in 2023. When not touring, Chase makes his home in Austin, Texas.
