Jean Chaumont Quintet

Guitarist and composer of depth and intention out of the ordinary, musically and socially, Jean Chaumont has established itself as a formidable presence on the international jazz scene. Playing a Eastman hollow-body guitar flanked by a proximity pickup as well as acoustic guitars steel and nylon strings, Chaumont distils a striking, warm and precise sound and impregnates his compositions with a generous lyricism, complexity and rhythmic propulsion.
