Great Jazz Musicians
The trio consists of alto saxophone, acoustic guitar and tuba and can can create a perfect combination of gypsy swing rhythm with dirty horn jazz. The band use 3 part vocal harmonies to complete their stunning sound. The whole sound is greater than the some of the parts due to the synergy created by three excellent musicians.
