Another Type Of Chamber Music

There are many types/labels/styles of chamber music.  The first type that may come to mind is the string quartet that plays mostly classical music.  Maybe someone else would think of the piano trio which consists of piano, violin, and cello and perhaps plays works by Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert.

There are many genres of chamber music one of which is jazz.  You may have seen jazz trios, quartets, quintets, big bands, and the like.  These groups tend to perform at hotels, business events, and wedding receptions as well as jazz clubs.  It's lovely that the different types of chamber music groups have many venues in which to perform.

Here is my jazz duo's new CD, "Our Favorite Things".  We are SchubertDahlMusic and my guitarist friend, Bryon Dahl, accompanies me when I play jazz on my flute.  We are definitely a chamber group and manage to play a diverse repertoire.  Bryon has a double role of being accompaniment and bass while I play the melodies of wonderful jazz standards on flute.

If you'd like to hear samples of our music, you could go to www.SchubertDahlMusic.com.  It may very well be that you will be inspired to find some of this music and play it, too!
