The Bonaventure Quartet is a unique group which hails from Atlanta and is one of the premier gypsyjazz/original swing music groups in America... Just visualize Django Reinhardt and Patsy Cline joining forces on stage playing a smoky honky tonk in Paris, Texas.....

The group consists of Charles Williams-guitar, Amy Pike-vocals, Dave Boling-guitar, Don Erdman-horns, Mark Bynum-bass, Marla Feeney-violin, Joel Morris-percussion, Ken Gregory-trumpet/trombone.

We have a large repertoire which features our originals complimented by classic jazz standards, all falling under the spell of the Django influence. So we usually mix it up depending on the show/event. For a festival or concert we'll play about 70% original tunes and the rest being a mixture of covers, Western Swing or obscure tunes that we like. At a corporate event or a wedding, then we'll weight the set list more towards 80% familiar songs and standards that the audience knows.
