Nach jahrelanger Tätigkeit als Sideman in den verschiedensten nationalen und internationalen Jazzformationen gründete der Altsaxophonist Klaus Graf 2001 sein erstes eigenes Quartett. Die Musik besteht zum großen Teil aus den Kompositionen des Bandleaders, die eigens für das Konzept des Quartetts geschrieben wurden:  Jazz mit souligem Charakter, melodiebezogene groovebetonte Musik für Bauch und Kopf.
Die Mitglieder des Klaus Graf Quartett sind international anerkannte Jazzsolisten und ständig als Begleitmusiker für die verschiedensten Jazzstars tätig.
Nach einer furiosen Premiere mit überschwenglichen Kritiken wurde die Debüt CD “Changes in Live” im Januar 2002 aufgenommen.
Im Oktober 2007 wurde die zweite CD “Moving On”  mit Arrangements und  Eigenkompositionen des Altsaxophonisten produziert.
Im Februar 2017 und im Februar 2020 absolvierte das Klaus Graf Quartett auf Einladung des Goethe-Instituts und mit Unterstützung des Baden-Württembergischen Jazzverbandes jeweils eine 2-wöchige Indien-Konzertreise und wurde von der indischen Presse als „German Jazzsensation“ gefeiert.
Im April 2021 erscheint die neue CD des Klaus Graf Quartetts „Live in India“ mit Aufnahmen eines Konzertmitschnitts der Indien Konzertreise 2020.

"I've just finished listening to one of the most musical performances of a lifetime. Encompassing the most exciting and fiery renditions, to a sensitivity seldom heard anywhere. This is a group of four very exceptional performers, headed by one of the world's greatest saxophone players, Klaus Graf."
(Sammy Nestico about "Moving On", June 2007)

"This is a great CD from a great alto player. This is not a jam session band but a working group and it sounds like it. They cut a wide path from Klaus' originals to Eden Ahbez (Nature Boy) Tadd Dameron, (If You Could See Me Now) to Lennon/McCartney (I Feel Fine). The arrangements are well done and the rhythm section swings like hell! Thoroughly enjoyable and a welcome addition to any jazz lover's collection!"
(Phil Woods about "Moving On", July 2007)

After having played as sideman along different national and international jazz formations, alto saxophone player Klaus Graf founded his first own quartet in 2001.
The music consists in big parts of the band leader’s compositions, which were written only for the purpose to serve the quartet’s concept: jazz with a soul character, melody-based and groove-driven music for body and head.
The musicians of the Klaus Graf jazz quartet are international recognized jazz solists and constantly working together with different jazz stars.
After a furious premiere with outstanding reviews was the debut album “Changes in Live“ recorded in January 2002.
In October 2007 the second album “Moving On“ with arrangements and self-composed songs was produced.
In April 2021 the latest CD of the Klaus Graf Quartet will be released: "Live in India" - consisting of recordings from the quartet's concert tour in India 2020.
