Feedback

The balance was great… The selections were great. The saxes purred. The brass hummed. The understatement makes it great. What a thrill when a big band "opens up" after the hush. Great selection… Thanks for an enjoyable evening.
— Dan G., long-time professional jazz musician.

Who was that tall, classy singer you saw fronting the band a few times last year? It was Jamie Burns, and she'll be back with us in the coming year, lending her voice to many great jazz standards. Jamie will also be joining us in the studio to add some vocals to our CD project.
