Drawing on its members’ diverse backgrounds in a full spectrum of jazz, rock, and classical music, the band applies its eclectic, open-ended approach to a mixed repertoire of original compositions and personalized arrangements of songs by artists including Bjork and Radiohead.

The brain-cephalopod of drummer, composer, and bandleader Chris Teal, Quintopus began as a collaboration of like-minded improvisers who met at Rochester, New York’s Eastman School of Music. Originally from Spokane, WA, drummer and composer Chris Teal works as freelance musician, coordinator, and teacher in the Rochester area
