The Craig Yaremko Quartet is one of the truly unique groups on the New York/New Jersey jazz scene. Since their debut CD Brasil was released in 2001, the Quartet has been bringing the music of Brazil to audiences throughout the area, at such venues as Trumpets and the Zinc Bar. The group focuses on performing music that is rarely heard in the United States, including lesser known compositions by Brazilian masters Hermeto Pascoal and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Their newest recording Persistence features original compositions and improvisations by some of New York''s talented young artists.
