The Steve Hudson Chamber Ensemble's compositions embrace the history of jazz, classical music, tango, and rock with their unique sound and a free spirited love of improvisation. Their newest recording, Galactic Diamonds has been called “a collection of little gems” by All About Jazz; “so disarmingly fun that it’s impossible to resist...a good-naturedly eclectic mix of third stream jazz with a catchy, quirky pop edge” by Lucid Culture; and “consistently engaging” by Christian Carey, Signal To Noise. The New York City based SHCE has performed to enthusiastic crowds from Vienna to New York. Praised by Keyboard Magazine for his "exquisite compositions” and for “a quest for beauty in his lines that evoke the masters," pianist/composer Steve Hudson has worked with Steven Bernstein, James Zollar, Marcus Rojas, and Claire Daly. Violinist Zach Brock has performed and recorded with Stanley Clarke, Alice Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, while cellist Christopher Hoffman has worked with Marc Ribot, Bebel Gilberto, Henry Threadgill, John Zorn, and director Martin Scorsese. Martin Urbach has shared the stage with Lee Konitz and Dave Liebman.
