Graham Dechter Quartet

Los Angeles native Graham Dechter is a rising star in jazz guitar. He began his musical journey at age 5 as a violinist and composer but discovered his passion for jazz guitar while studying at the Idyllwild Arts Academy. After a year in the Jazz Studies program at Eastman School of Music, he was invited by Jeff Hamilton to join the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, becoming its youngest member at 19. Graham has since performed and recorded with jazz greats such as Kurt Elling, Wynton Marsalis, Quincy Jones, and Clark Terry.

He has played prestigious venues like The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and the Hollywood Bowl, and appeared at major festivals including the Monterey and Detroit Jazz Festivals. His debut album, Right On Time, features jazz standards performed alongside Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, and Tamir Hendelman.
