"The Sean J. Kennedy Quartet is one of the outstanding groups on the scene today. Sean has managed to create a signature sound with four individual virtuosi. They are reminiscent of the MJQ in their interplay and exciting to watch and hear. Don't miss them."
-Frank DiBussolo
Lost World Music recording artists, The Seán J. Kennedy Quartet, focus on original compositions and new arrangements of time-honored standards. With Sean on drums, the group features Erin Stroup on saxophones, John Stenger on piano, and Mark Amentt on bass.
As stated in a recent review on Jazzreview.com, the quartet is creatively new, but built on solid foundations of traditional jazz.
The new CD, Queen Annes Revenge includes Seán and the guys along with Grammy winning artists, Bob Mintzer (The Yellowjackets and Buddy Rich Band) and Liberty DeVitto (from Billy Joel). Road to Wailea, the groups debut CD featuring Erin Stroup and Larry McKenna has received accolades from many leading jazz artists on the scene today. And most recently the quartet opened for Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, PA
