Duduka Da Fonseca & Quadrilogy: Jazz Musician in New York

About Duduka Da Fonseca & Quadrilogy

Duduka Da Fonseca leads Quadrilogy in a working jazz format shaped by his background as a drummer and bandleader. The group’s sets at Smalls Jazz Club place them in the middle of New York City’s late-night, straight-ahead scene, where arrangements have to hold up under close listening. Da Fonseca favors groove and internal timekeeping, letting the ensemble’s interplay carry the narrative. Quadrilogy moves between written passages and open sections with a calm, methodical pace.
