​

BRQ plays a huge variety of tunes in many jazz styles and from numerous jazz eras.  We love requests and are seldom stumped.

​

In addition, BRQ stretches the boundaries to include songs from sources not traditionally associated with jazz, but which lend themselves to reinterpretation from a jazz perspective. As a result, you just never know what might pop up on any given night.
