The Dennis Kwok
Tentet
The Dennis Kwok Tentet is Dennis' first major project as a bandleader. Formed in 2016, this band enabled him to explore his love of large ensembles, and allowed him to bring a wide variety of experiences and eclectic influences to the table in order to further develop his own musical voice. This group aims to bridge the gap between small and large ensembles while pushing the boundaries of the jazz idiom.
