This band has been playing in Southern California for 20 years. They just completed their latest CD project in 2006 and are very proud of the results. They wanted to record tunes they love to play in a “Live” setting so the band recorded at Cafe 322 a new club in Sierra Madre. The new CD includes songs from Wayne Shorter, Benny Golson, and John Coltrane to name a few.

“This band is what it’s all about. Keep moving, keep swinging. Put this album on and just try to sit still. When this band gets in the hard bop groove it’s like driving on a wide open Pasadena Freeway. This album sounds so good you pass right by your exit, by all the exits. You want to keep on driving. Straight ahead” (Brick Wahl, LA Weekly). This band is enjoying rotation on KKJZ and DJ John Phillips says it’s “smokin”. Read more>

This vocalist recent set at the Catalina Jazz Club featured some of L.A.’s top jazz musicians including Theo Saunders, John B. Williams, Steve Cotter and Tony Austin.

After catching her Catalina concert veteran jazz promoter Dick LaPalm had this to say: “She has perfect intonation, can float a lyric without losing her grip on it, and is always completely locked into the spirit of the song. She made every song fresh, full-faced, and personal, as if she was telling me a story. I believed every word! Whatever you call this rare and special quality, she has it - big time.” That kind of compliment doesn’t come easily from a hard core radio man who has spent 50 years in the business promoting singers from Nat King Cole all the way to Diana Krall.

“I spent six wonderful, difficult, successful and challenging years learning the ropes in San Francisco,” she explains. “I started out by busking at Pier 39. After a while I had a great fan base and was playing Yoshi’s, the Plush Room, Jazz at Pearl’s, the Rrazz Room and all of the Bay Area clubs. Then I began to get gigs in Asia and NYC, etc. I felt ready to take the next step.” The stellar music scene in Los Angeles was a powerful magnet for her. “In order to keep bringing my game up to the next level I knew I had to work with the best musicians and producers in the world, and many of them live here in Los Angeles.”  Read more>
