Mason Razavi Quartet

The Mason Razavi Quartet performs the guitarist’s originals as well as choice standards. Razavi released two albums of quartet and nonet music that were warmly received by jazz radio - Quartet Plus (on First Orbit Sounds) and Quartet Plus Volume 2 (on Origin/OA2 records).

"Evocative storytelling (of which opener "Moonlit Message" is a prime example) is the hallmark of Razavi's music. So evocative, in fact, that one hardly needs individual track titles to suggest appropriate interpretations." - Tyran Grillo, All About Jazz

"it lends the impression of two albums in one, the first an amiable post-bop quartet session, the second a well-spoken mini-big band accompanied by a four-piece rhythm section. Perhaps that is what Razavi had in mind. In any case it seems to work well, thanks in large measure to Razavi's engaging compositions and arrangements" - Jack Bowers, All About Jazz

"His music is witty but also deeply emotional" - Rick Anderson, CD Hotlist

“. . . Quartet Plus, Vol. 2, highlights his creativity as a forward thinking musician and showcases his elegant and nuanced dedication to engaging musical storytelling. Original compositions on this album like "When the Ink Ran Dry" speak of a master who has carefully crafted his own voice” - SanJose.com
