Introduction

My group will play straight-ahead jazz standards by artists like Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Duke Ellington, and Thelonius Monk. I love playing jazz music and hearing from my customers that they greatly enjoyed the music. I can work with you to customize the band for your event. Instruments include saxophone, trumpet, piano (or keyboard), guitar, acoustic bass, drums, and vocals. Note: if you are looking for smooth jazz (Kenny G), pure blues music (BB King) or pop music (Stevie Wonder), we are not going to be a good fit for you.
