Mike Zinna on Jazz Guitar and George Hoar Jazz Bassist and Keyboardist. Both former New York musicians with years of experience have been playing in major venues all over Charlotte now 7 years. They bring the New York jazz club feel to every performance. From Swing to hard bop we cover it. We also interpret certain tunes with our own arrangements. We cover it from Miles to Ellington. We now have begun to pay tribute to the great Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grapelli. Re visiting the days of the Hot Jazz Club Quartet of Paris 1937. I even play the Macaferri Jazz Guitar Type that Django used.

An evening of sophisticated, compelling fun modern jazz
My name is Mike Zinna, Jazz Guitarist. We play very hot and sophisticated jazz in the New York Style. I've been playing professionally for over 45 years. Studied under the late great jazz guitarist and teacher Joe Monk. George Hoar is a degreed highly talented bassist, keyboardist and composer who studied under the great Rufus Reid and has done projects with the likes of David Samuels and Mike Stern. Highly motivated and highly experienced. A client can expect a fun, swinging hip evening covering it all from Ellington to Lennon and McCartney. We have the greatest respect for our audience and the affair. We will even get air coverage from WHIP 1350 AM on The Saturday Morning Jazz Party with Richard Dalrymple. We have two CDs under our belt that we have produced ourselves. The Roar of the Archtops and Our tribute to Thelonius Monk, Takin on Monk. George has at least 3 of his own CDs. Our specialty is setting a hip atmosphere that compliments the affair not overwhelm it.
We are totally self contained. We have our own Sound System and amps. All small un intrusive and high tech
