Chris Burnett Quartet

Chris Burnett Quartet

Chris Burnett Quartet was formed when the American saxophonist and composer, Chris Burnett, return home to live in the Kansas City area in 2001. Thus, he began another new phase of his career as a performer. The Chris Burnett Quartet debuted with a performance on the main stage of the Roots Festival at Paola, Kansas in 2002. In 2003, he was contacted to open at the Adam's Mark in Kansas City for Maynard Ferguson by the jazz trumpet legend's management. As a result of that successful performance, an official of the Elms Resort and Spa who was in the audience, contracted CbQ to appear as the featured group at their 4th Annual Jazz and Wine Festival in Excelsior Springs, Missouri in 2004. Other recent performances included performing and successfully hosting the "Blue Monday Jam" at Kansas City's famous Blue Room jazz club in 2004 - thus validating the viability of his artistry within the historic " 18th and Vine Jazz District" scene too. Burnett also participated in a special broadcast performance for the popular "The Jazz Scene - 2004 Holiday Show" radio program hosted by David Basse for Kansas Public Radio. Although 2005 was primarily a year of sideman work for Mr. Burnett, he engaged each opportunity with equal enthusiasm, artistry and professionalism. He has been welcomed back home to the Kansas City area as an artist by such notable leaders as Ahmad Alaadeen, Bobby Watson and David Basse, resulting in participation in several significant jazz performances at regional music festivals and other significant live music events in the area. In May of 2006 Chris Burnett became a featured artist, performing monthly at The Drum Room in the historic Hilton President Kansas City located within the emerging Kansas City Live! Downtown Entertainment District (see source link below). The group remains active.
