The BMR4 is an accomplished Chicago jazz quartet , now performing for 15 years,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 the Mayor . The band also has released three recordings, and founding member Chris Bernhardt has performed at the Monterrey Jazz Festival, one of the most prestigious of its kind in the world. The BMR4 is a highly versatile group, and we have had much success with our 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 The Bash clients, and we encourage you to use BMR4 for your event. Audio and video samples are available on our website.
