"Influenced by greats like Cedar Walton and Horace Silver, the quartet is rooted in the jazz tradition. Their musical intention is to swing hard and play music driven by the blues. They will be playing music written by the great jazz composers, as well as arrangements of tunes from the great American songbook."
