About / Biography

We play music from the great jazz and swing eras.

We have a great Gypsy swing repertoire, too.

We have a remarkably extensive repertoire of tunes and songs, most of which have stood the test of many decades to become “classics” of their own kind.

Our aim is to play with warmth, enthusiasm, and ensemble musicianship.

Our standard quartet lineup features multi-instrumentalists -

  • Clarinet/saxes/vocals
  • Lead Guitar/banjo
  • Rhythm Guitar
  • Double Bass
  • We can add a fifth member on trumpet/trombone or 2nd reed.

We play for a concert or background music through to a full dance setting.
