Alex Kautz Quartet – “Where We Begin” | Modern Jazz with a Global Pulse
The Alex Kautz Quartet brings together four acclaimed voices in contemporary jazz: drummer and composer Alex Kautz, saxophonist John Ellis, bassist Matt Penman, and guitarist Fabio Gouvêa. Together they perform music from Kautz’s latest release, Where We Begin — a vibrant blend of modern jazz infused with Brazilian and Afro-Latin rhythms.
Their sound is defined by lyricism, rhythmic sophistication, and deep interplay, revealing the quartet’s shared sensitivity and dynamic spirit.
Each performance becomes a musical journey through intricate grooves, melodic storytelling, and spontaneous dialogue — a celebration of connection, creativity, and the universal language of jazz.
