Jazz fusion collective City of Four celebrates the release of its latest album, Where Were We?, mentioned in WBUR's "7 music releases to listen to this spring." Each member of the group brings original compositions showcasing a range of their individual influences that the band interprets as a unit through improvisation and interplay.
City of Four
"When the jazz, funk and progressive styles come together it can be a beautiful thing. The songs harness a groove that seems like it’ll never end and the music lasts long enough that getting lost in the rhythms and beats is almost effortless."
-Rob Duguay, Rock n'Heavy
"City of Four’s new LP offers a cornucopia of jazz melodies, bubbly passages and brassy sound with the freshness of a pitch-perfect improv sesh."
-Big Takeover Exclusives
"Saxophonist Mike Caudill leads the quartet bounding through tangential compositions that flaunt each instrumentalist’s effortless ability."
-Charley Ruddell, WBUR
City of Four brings an original brand of modern groove-based jazz, fusion, and funk to music venues across Boston, New England, and the NYC area. The band's sound is an amalgamation of the creative minds of its four composers. Mike Caudill (saxophone), Blain Crawford (bass), Steve Wilkinson (drums), and Cat Tremblay (keyboards), who met playing with various groups in Boston, each contribute a distinct compositional style. City of Four's latest album, Where Were We?, was released on Mint 400 Records this past March.

Catman
Catman (Cat Tremblay) is a Boston-based producer/keyboardist who specializes in a unique blend of jazz and experimental electronic music. As a trained pianist and composer, Cat began the Catman project to branch out from purely acoustic music and further explore his interests in modern textural beat-driven music. Cat's productions are rich with warm synthesizers and heavy-hitting drums, and his sound features aspects of lofi, psychedelic hip-hop, classic R&B, 70s fusion, dream pop, and synthwave.
