Huu Bac Quintet

“Montreal-based Huu Bac Quintet enthralled concert-goers with its signature blend of traditional jazz and music from around the world.” - Ryan Macrae

— The Argosy (Mount Allison Paper)

world music - original jazz

Of Sino-Vietnamese origins, Montreal-based Huu Bac Quach masters a wide array of musical instruments, including the dan bau (single chord Vietnamese instrument), the erhu (Chinese fiddle), the quena (Peruvian flute), and the guitar. In concert, he presents his compositions which skillfully fuse the traditional sounds of his Vietnamese and Chinese heritages with North American jazz music.

He performs with his quintet from Montreal comprising some of the most prominent musicians on the Canadian jazz scene.
