Quintin Gerard W

Both as a sideman and solo artist, Quintin has a unique and rich history as a live performer. Since emerging with Fnkysax, he’s performed everywhere from Orlando and Reno to the House of Blues (opening for Michael Franks) and Harrah’s in New Orleans, and the Montgomery Jazz Festival in conjunction with WVAS-FM. In the 90s when he toured with Jeff Lorber, the saxman performed at such high profiles places as Jack London Square in Oakland and the KIFM Anniversary Festival in San Diego. With Under The Lake—which recently had a reunion concert in Seattle—Quintin has opened for Joe Sample at the Maui Cultural and Performing Arts Center and Stanley Jordan at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
“I wanted to show a little more of what I can do with the sax on the second album,” says the composer and multi-instrumentalist. “But it was time to reconnect with the fans who embraced my trademark sound. It’s all about infectious urban grooves and romantic songs with vocals in the background that people can enjoy and sing along to.”
Quintin's music can be heard now on Rhythm & Jazz Radio and downloaded at these fine online outlets! iTunes - cdbaby - and Amazon.
