During 2018-2020 the NEXTGEN QUARTET was Chris Mondak (Bass), Gabriel Feldman (Piano), Mario Layne Fabrizio (Drums/Percussion), and Ye Huang (Saxophones and Clarinet) who played works that each member contributed to the group. A reviewer stated that the NEXTGEN quartet is “so striking that they knock you off your feet” and that they, “ set the musical world on fire with their debut album”. Their music is mostly derived from the American jazz past and present, and also included a great deal of backbeat oriented music that usually presents the members’ collective and soloist prowess. The NEXTGEN Quartet presented some of their music on thier debut album “STARLIGHT,” and they have performed at numerous venues in China and the United States.
