This is a band looking to explore different corners of the jazz idiom. They play a mixture of music from the past, contemporary masters as well as original music. The influence on the direction of the band comes from leaders such as Cannonball Adderley, Kenny Garrett and Will Vinson but with a mixture of different musical personalities manages to achieve it's own unique sound.
