Rich vocals, nimble piano playing and an accomplished rhythm section of double bass and drums bring the trio’s jazz, blues and R&B repertoire to life.
Although their sets include many well-known and loved jazz and blues standards from the likes of Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Fats Waller, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone and Peggy Lee and it also includes many tunes that are seldom heard on the bandstand today.
With fresh arrangements, riveting improvisational interplay and modern influences this trio’s got a little something for everyone.
