“The Craig Pedersen Quartet…reminds this listener of the halcyon days of the 1970s when the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Julius Hemphill and Henry Threadgill first entered my consciousness” -Richard B. Kamins

The Craig Pedersen Quartet features four of the hardest working creative musicians in Ottawa and Montreal.   All working musicians, individually fluent in a variety of styles, they come together under Craig Pedersen’s leadership to make music energetic music, “with strong heads and a propension to step out of the comfort zone in order to keep the listener’s attention.”  (Monsieur Deliré)

Their debut album, Days Like Today, was the #1 Jazz Album of 2012 on the Earshot radio charts. Their new album, Ghosts, is due out this fall.
