Artist description The Quartet consists of four musicians heavily active in the New York jazz and dodgeball scenes: Scott McLemore recently completed an album under his own leadership featuring Tony Malaby, Ben Street and Ben Monder; Sean Moran is active in several busy groups on the cutting edge of the New Jazz, including The Four Bags (see links) and Twelve Twenty-Six; Dan Fabricatore has laid it down in the rhythm sections of many of NY's finest (musicians, not police); and Ian Carey has been active in a trio under his own leadership, as a composer and arranger, with the folk/blues group Good Bread Alley (see links), Grupo Ven P'aca of San Francisco, and many other things that have presently slipped his mind.

Artist History Ian Carey arrived in San Francisco in 2001 under an assumed name as a stowaway on a cargo ship after an active stretch in the New York music scene. He formed the East Coast version of the Quartet in 1998, and they have since recorded a six-song EP, and performed in many local New York and outer-borough venues. An album featuring the West COast version is planned for fall 2003.
