Lemon Juice Quartet

Based in the New York area, the Lemon Juice Quartet (LJQ for short) is an avant-garde jazz-rock group that incorporates elements of Jewish and East European music. The experimental foursome, whose influences range from Dave Douglas, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman to Medeski, Martin & Wood, has favored an inside/outside approach. Although abstract and left-of-center, the Lemon Juice Quartet is also musical and not without a strong sense of melody.
