The Wave Quartet

The Name: Due to our love of SMOOTH JAZZ, the name “Wave” was derived from the thought of sitting on the West Coast and watching the “waves” while listening to smooth jazz... Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with waving hello or goodbye... The Players: Due to his immense love for music and especially smooth jazz, bassist John Christopher decided to enlist the help of his good friend guitarist Roger Harris to put a group together. We decided to enlist the help of our other friend drummer Craig Rankin and John's childhood friend, Saxophonist Rich Ranaglia, and the players were in place. All of the players work in other ensembles, but this group was made from a labor of love, because we all enjoy and respect each other and what each of us do. Wave is available to work as a trio or quartet. The Music: Wave plays a mix of smooth jazz, blues, pop and swing music, all done with our own twists. The music is enjoyable and fun, and the players enjoy playing it and entertaining the audience. Venues: We are capable of entertaining for private parties, corporate events, or at any night club that prefers a variety of music.
