The Cellar and Point is an American "garage-chamber'" septet from New York City.
[2][3] The band has referred to its music as "garage-chamber," although it has alternatively been called "chamber-prog," "contemporary chamber jazz," and "post-everything.
"[4][5][6] The group's core instrumentation consists of two guitars, bass, drums, vibraphone, violin, and cello, but is often extended to include banjo, piano, viola, glockenspiel, keyboards, and electronics.
In addition to original compositions by co-leaders Branciforte and Botta, the group has performed and recorded arrangements of 20th century composers such as Anton Webern and György Ligeti.
Past and present members currently perform with JACK Quartet, The Claudia Quintet, and Bing & Ruth.
