Six.
Players who found each other on the local jam circuit and decided to stick around.
Standards you know, grooves you didn't expect. Old songs made to feel new, and a few surprises along the way.
Vocals, upright bass, piano, saxophone, guitar, drums: a classic small-group setup, played with a twist.
We lean on the American Songbook for the spine, but the arrangements go their own way — an up tempo take on a ballad, a Latin spin on an expected swing. The goal is a room that listens, then forgets to sit still.
Velvety alto & American Songbook devotee. Musical theatre roots, with a weakness for a Latin twist.
Berklee grad, forty-plus years behind the kit. Swing, bossa, straight-ahead, brushes.
UMass Amherst Jazz Studies, student of Felipe Salles. Alto voice with a lyrical streak.
B.M. Piano Performance, Delta State. Holds down the Tall Granite Big Band piano chair.
Jazz, pop, Brazilian. Formerly half of Portland Guitar Duo; hollowbody tones.
Classical roots, fretless electric upright, a happy genre-hopper.
