DESCRIPTION:THE MUSICAL ART QUINTET: \n\nThe Musical Art Quintet was formed
  in 2008 in the Mission district of San Francisco during chamber music jam
  sessions every Sunday night at Cafe Revolution. Each week a new piece of 
 music was written by MAQ band leader Sascha Jacobsen to be performed at Cl
 assical Revolution\, and ink still wet\, we would read through the piece i
 n front of a live audience.&nbsp\; As our repertoire grew\, a core group o
 f players emerged and the quintet was founded. The name of the quintet is 
 taken from The Musical Art Quartet\, a string quartet formed in the 1940's
  and led by the Great-Grandfather and namesake of the bassist and composer
  of the quintet\, violinist\, Sascha Jacobsen.\n\nAlthough classically tra
 ined\, the members of The Musical Art Quintet are skilled improvisors and 
 each one brings with him a special area of expertise. Whether it is Argent
 ine Tango\, Afro-Cuban Son\, Klezmer\, Classical works\, or even Electroni
 ca\, the Quintet is at home.&nbsp\; The music of band leader\, Sascha Jaco
 bsen\, is essentially rhythmic in nature\, utilizing dance forms to propel
  his melodies forward.&nbsp\; Each piece is based on a dance form\, but in
 stead of a Sarabande or a Gigue\, Jacobsen uses rhythms like Cha-cha-cha o
 r Milonga.\nNuevo Chamber is the name for this new genre that blends world
  \nmusic in&#64258\;uences with a chamber music ensemble\, infusing rhythm
 s \nfrom Argentina\, Cuba\, Africa\, Jazz\, Classical and even Electronica
  \ninto a new style of music. The Quintet has cemented it's status as a to
 p world music string ensemble with recent recordings with the Nuevo Flamen
 co guitarist\, Stevan Pasero (Twelve Shades of Night\, 2011\, Sugo records
 ) and with the Argentine Tango group\, Trio Garufa (El Rumor de tus Tangos
 \, 2010\, Garufa records). The Musical Art Quintet's website\nQUARTET SAN

 7\, and 2006) and International Tango competition winners (New York\, 2004

 tuosic playing. Quartet San Francisco was founded in 2001 by celebrated Ba
