Charley Gerard’s
We are BRSQ
Charley Gerard is a saxophonist, author and composer. He is a 2019 recipient of the prestigious New Jazz Works grant from Chamber Music America with the generous support of the Doris Duke Foundation.
Charley started The Broken Reed Saxophone Quartet in 2002. As of 2023 the group is Matt Schmidt on baritone sax, Charley on alto sax, Nathan Edwards on soprano sax, and Malin Carta on tenor. (L–R in picture below)
Together, they transport their audience everywhere, from Mozart to New Orleans to Cuba, to the pages of poetry and popular culture. As its name implies, the group is as linked by its sense of humor as it is by its unique sound.
