"The Real Thing!" - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With six horns—alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones; two trumpets; one trombone—plus piano, bass, drums, and vocalist, Tempest has a powerful sound all its own. Duke Ellington, Count Basie…the big bands are well represented in Tempest's expansive repertoire. But you'll also hear Tempest set lists dedicated to the small-group sounds of Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey…all exquisitely arranged for Tempest's six horns and rhythm section. An exciting and exquisite jazz anomaly, Tempest is an aggressive big band nurturing the subtle improvisational approaches of a quintet. Featuring the finest jazz musicians in the greater Atlanta area, Tempest consistently blows up a storm!...
