Cool Band And Not Only Jazz!

These guys are great. I caught them in Davis Square outside of Boston one night almost by accident. They do jazz and R&B. Trad jazz styles that swing, electric and contemporary as well as singable R&B titles from the past. They have a strong drummer and a wonderful lead vocalist as well. Bassist rocks and so does the guitarist. Video on this site doesn't really say everything . . . Good for hip parties!
