about

"I’m listening to Caterpillar Quartet & it is blowing my mind. Four seasoned improvisors with the taste & command to patiently coax a musical notion to its fullest flower. Their new disc Threads embraces a spectrum of moods & tones, applying both muscle & finesse as needed. Recorded live at Ibeam in Brooklyn, it’s an elegant piece of work, a journey I look forward to repeating many times."
-Chris Rael, Church of Betty
