A smattering of original hard-to-define compositions rounds out our eclectic but very listenable style. We play and have played clubs, bars, jazz festivals, weddings and a funeral and are available for most any kind of special event or happening. The horn heavy sound and our talented vocalist tend to stand out whenever we play and the arrangements and transcriptions always bring folks to their feet.
