The Alex Goodman Chamber Quartet features some of Canada's top talent and plays music that falls somewhere in between jazz, chamber and acoustic music. The group performs original songs and compositions as well as arrangements with improvisation of composers such as Monk, Ellington, Debussy, Bartok and Schubert.

Hailed as "the next big thing in the jazz world" (CityTV News), "sophisticated and accomplished" (The Toronto Star) as well as "genius" (La Presse, Montréal), guitarist and composer Alex Goodman has established himself as a major force in the jazz community. He has released three albums as a leader, of which his most recent, "Bridges" reached #1 on the Chartattack and !Earshot national jazz charts. In 2011, the Ottawa Citizen recognized "Bridges" as one of the top 10 Canadian jazz records of the year, and honored Alex in the article "Who makes the cutting edge for jazz in Canada?"

In addition to winning over a dozen national music awards, Alex's quintet was also a finalist in the 2011 Grand Prix de Jazz competition at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. He is also an accomplished composer with over 100 original compositions and two film scores to his name and has performed with international jazz stars such as Tim Ries and Ron Westray of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra as well as Maria Schneider and John Patitiucci while a student at the University of Toronto.
