Chen & Pato Quartet

The quartet under the direction of Pato (guitar, Chile) and Chen (saxophone, China) was created at the Hochschule für Musik Dresden, where the two musicians met and first played together as a duo. From this collaboration, which was characterized by an immediate musical connection, the project developed further with the extension by Enes Efe Düzel (bass, Turkey) and Paul Veit (drums, Germany).

The repertoire is based on traditional jazz, with influences from musicians such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Michael Brecker and Charlie Parker, among others, and is interpreted from a current perspective. The group strives to develop its own musical language through interaction, exploration and collective work, while also reflecting the cultural diversity of its members.
