The Classical Jazz Quartet was a jazz quartet that existed in the early 2000s. It consisted of four established jazz performers playing classical music interpretations written, arranged, and produced by Bob Belden and Suzanne Severini. In this the "CJQ" followed in the footsteps of the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ, 1952–1997, using the same instrumentation), and the Jacques Loussier Trio (1959-2019, minus the vibraphone).
