About
The BMR4 is an accomplished Chicago jazz quartet that features some of the best players in the city including members of the Buddy Guy, Lonnie Brooks, and Patricia Barber bands. Current venues that the group are playing include Andy's Jazz Club, Shaw's Crabhouse, Pops For Champagne, Pete Millers (all locations), Navy Pier, United Center (Chicago Bulls), and official City of Chicago events/functions for Mayor Daley. Our latest CD, 'Turning Point', was released on the Hallway Records label (Chicago) in 2007.
The BMR4 is a highly versatile group, and we have had much success with our Gigmaster clients.. We will tailor our musical selections to fit the event we are playing. Besides straight ahead jazz, BMR4 is exceptional at incorporating blues, funk, cajun, latin, soul-jazz, and R&B into the show. The BMR4 knows how to play upbeat music that will engage your audience, even if you're simply looking for background music for your event. No matter what your needs are, you can be assured that the group will perform a set worthy to the tastes of your clientele.
We have had much success with Gigmaster clients, and we encourage you to use BMR4 for your event.
Audio and video samples are available on our website.

"BMR4 was a perfect fit for our venue. We had a small, intimate wedding and the band provided music that complemented that setting. They played a variety of music that we and our guests really enjoyed; we received many compliments about the band's professionalism and the quality of the music. We are so happy with the choice we made and will not hesitate to recommend them."

"Bmr4's performance at our event at the Hyatt @ McCormick Place was nothing more than fantastic. They had our guests on their feet dancing. There is a lot to be said about being up on your feet dancing after standing on them all day in the Convention Center for a major tradeshow.
Our company would not hesitate to hire Bmr4 again in the future while visiting Chicago.

"Prior to the event, our band contact was great. He was very communicative, explained their process, style, etc. but I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed by the performance. We specifically asked for more big band style (which was within the repertoire of the band) but I feel the style we received was straight forward contemporary jazz. It was well played but not quite what we asked for. I also saw a band member sneak an alcoholic drink - I would have not minded at all but the way he went about it I didn't particularly appreciate. I did ask the band to play for 15 more minutes and it did become somewhat of an issue."
