The Ben Boardman Quartet is a new and exciting group featuring Cedric de Saint-Rome, Louis Plouffe, and Paulo Riccardo. All four members met at McGill and have been playing together ever since. The band uses elements from historically Black American music such as jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, among others, creating new sounds and textures within the conventions of jazz music. While each band member has greatly differing experiences stylistically, their individual strengths are utilised to create a unique and cohesive band sound.
A core component of jazz music is taking improvisational risks, however, the Ben Boardman Quartet amplifies this concept, finding new musical horizons through genre-bending improvisation. Each performance is an electrifying experience that is not to be missed!
