A little about the band... and our references
 | South Florida is where you'll find us, playing any kind of jazz and lots of bossa nova since 1996. Our mainstay is the standards, any and all of them ~ with our own twist. Some nights, we throw in pop tunes, Latin or play the blues. Normally we travel as a trio or quartet, but we can do bigger groups, too. Want more sound? We work with super sax players, guitarists, big band players and male and female singers. We play regularly at private parties, corporate functions, festivals, cultural events and clubs. We proudly brag we have played every year since 1997 (save two) at the City of Fort Lauderdale's SunTrust Riverwalk Sunday Jazz Brunch (photo at left). Thanks for listening! |
