Sunday Live Music: CUADROS QUARTET

Dave Bruker, John Valdez, Paul Kirk and Nate Johnson, together are Cuadros Quartet. Dave Bruker likes composing tunes and playing jazz for the challenges and freedom that this genre of music allows. John Valdez, has lived in Bloomington since 2003. He studied jazz drums at the Jacobs School of Music and has played with many of the local musicians both here and on the touring circuit. Paul Kirk has been playing the guitar for over 50 years and he especially likes to play jazz because of the shared musical interaction that happens when playing with other jazz musicians. Nate Johnson is a musician and composer from Bloomington, Indiana. Skilled in multiple instruments and multiple styles of music, his saxophone can wail the blues or burn through bebop tunes, all with a soulful sense of cool.
