The Sixth Street quaternion
qua-ter-ni-on [kwuh-tur-nee-uhn]
–noun
1. a group or set of four persons or things.
The Sixth Street Quaternion began in a small row house at 767 South on 6th Street, Philadelphia, in 1996. 6Stq was conceived by four jazz musicians, Jon Fresen, Jon Miller, Chip Moyer and Art Stephano. The idea was to create more than just a band. It had to be for real. Real musicians, real music, and a real expression of ideas.
The band grew and prospered because these four, ”the quaternion” really cared about presenting a true artistic experience at every gig the band played. No wallpaper here, extended solos, gutsy virtuoso performances, and a belief that this group was truly something special. However something was missing the group was somehow incomplete.
In the spring of 1997 singer and actress, Deborah Billups joined the quaternion at the “Tip Top Club” where the band played often. This was the sound legends are made of. Ms. Billups’ vocal styling took the audience though the full range of emotion and left them patting there pockets for a cigarette.
Now the group is led by Art Stephano, and features Deborah Billups, as well as original music by award winning composer and author, Dave Renz. Dave has been playing saxophone and flute with 6stq since 1998.
The Sixth Street Quaternion is truly something special. To commercial clients such as restaurants and clubs 6stq will draw thirsty fans who support establishments where jazz is heard.
