With all the smooth radio stations and instrumental pop in the world, there's precious little authentic jazz left to be found these days.

Here's some.

The Jazz Survivors are all about real American music, from swinging Ellington to hard bop Miles to heart-rending Jobim (OK, so he's Brazilian). Not that we are museum pieces, we play newer stuff, too. But we like to play music with substance, with genuine fun, with depth to explore.

Surprise, a lot of people like it. This is not the realm of the snobs or the purists. It's just good tunes.

In memory of our friend and violinist, Leif Reck, now playing with heaven's best jazz musicians.

new! Listen to our own Bob LaMendola blather for 30 minutes about the band, journalism and social change.
Visit the nonprofit group The Humanity Project and listen to their podcast of 2/28/09 with the founder and host, Robert Spencer Knotts. It's goofy, but he had fun!
