Bio / Background

The EMPTY CAGE QUARTET (formerly MTKJ Quartet) is a Los Angeles-based creative jazz/new music ensemble that has been hailed in the jazz press as "one of the most powerful and appealing jazz units currently active" (–All About Jazz). Formed in 2002, the quartet features saxophonist Jason Mears, trumpeter Kris Tiner, bassist Ivan Johnson and percussionist Paul Kikuchi. Over the course of five albums and a number of lengthy tours the group has explored new ways to integrate a diverse mix of musical influences within a unique modular system of organizing the flow of notated and improvised elements. Their music has consistently been praised as a substantial and original new contribution to jazz on the left coast. Critic Rex Butters of the Jazz Journalists Association selected Day of the Race, their second CD on LA’s legendary Nine Winds label, as one of the top 10 jazz albums of 2005.
