SJQ has recorded and performed tributes to jazz legends Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and most recently, Pat Metheny. Mike Bimonte’s has been drumming for 55 years ago citing 50’s classic Jazz and 70’s progressive rock as big influences. He has played at Woolsey Hall, Shubert Theater New Haven, and opened for Frank Zappa’s Project Object, Tower of Power, among others. Cyril (Deepak) D’Souza always aspired to play music, but couldn’t because of the demands of life as a physician and academic. Originally a drummer, Rich graduated from the New England Conservatory in Boston with a degree in Jazz Studies and now mostly plays vibraphone. Steve Roane plays acoustic and electric bass, and many other stringed instruments. He has performed over 7000 gigs and released more than 20 albums. He has appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Bottom Line, Ryle’s, the Town Hall, The Kool Jazz Festival, C.B.G.B.’s, The Kate, Music Hall, and other venues. He has toured throughout the US, Japan and Spain. He has composed over 200 pieces. Steve Wood began playing jazz guitar in college in Washington D.C. After several years playing West African music, he returned to jazz. SJQ play an eclectic blend of jazz standards and modern compositions at venues along the shoreline. SJQ will pay tribute to the music of great jazz pianist composers including Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock,  Joe Zawinul, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and others
