CCQ, one of Bristol's finest live acts, serves up a unique fusion of drum'n'bass, hip-hop and jazz influenced live breakbeat.
Formed in 1999 by highly respected jazz players, Craig Crofton (saxes and beats) and Neil Smith (guitar), when they began playing freestyle breakbeat jazz with DJ Madds at a local club residency.
Over the last five years, CCQ has evolved into an unbelievably tight, live force of sound and energy, comprised of seven top caliber musicians who are constantly pushing musical limits and defying boundaries.CCQ are a mainstay of the live club scene in the south west and have fans all over the world. They have showcased with top, international acts such as Roni Size and Reprazent, Jazz Jamaica and Ozomatli. They've also been featured on Glastonbury's Jazz World Stage and have played to massive local crowds at Bristol's Ashton Court Festival.
Since the extremely successful release of their second EP, "If They Were Alive 2day" and loads of upcoming gigs, CCQ is ready to take it to the next level...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
