Queen Street Four is led by drummer and composer Jay Boehmer (BEE-mer) and exploits the great sound of trumpet and tenor sax with the absence of piano or guitar for harmony, similar to the Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan Quartet. The band’s repertoire is arranged by Boehmer and combines original compositions along with new arrangements of standards like Night Train, Yesterdays and Jitterbug Waltz. You may even hear a ballad by Frank Zappa.

Funding for this performance is funded by the Music Performance Trust Fund with support from the Toronto Musicians’ Association.
