Charlie Kirchen Quartet is led by Chicago-born bassist and composer Charlie Kirchen, who relocated to New York City in late 2018 to pursue expansive collaborations across the jazz spectrum. The quartet's sound sits at the intersection of jazz with elements of free improvisation, drawn from influences in 20th-century classical music and traditional folk sensibilities. The ensemble’s debut album, Ive Fallen and I Can’t Get Up, arrived in 2019 on Flood Music, recorded August 2018 at Electrical Audio in Chicago with the original quartet lineup featuring Nick Mazzarella (alto sax), Dave Miller (guitar), Devin Drobka (drums), alongside Kirchen on bass. The project reflects a collaborative spirit, precise collective listening, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern jazz while honoring its roots.
