Worth seeing live! They have punchier sound than on video. No live strings
but 3 horns, 2 trumpet and sax, one trumpeter doubling 2nd keys. 2 guitars,
bass, drums, percussion and 1st keyboard. Some of the tunes seem to be
medley'd and sound tighter than the videos.
The downside, most tunes based on a simple figure varied up and rearranged
to the n'th degree which sounds good live and in context but not so much
distinctly memorable. I suppose if you lose the vocals from some Stevie
Wonder or Steely Dan tunes there's a similar result.
Good dynamic range, like a funky Gentle Giant with the original Miami Sound
Machine rhythm feel.

This is a good track;-

Another good reason for seeing them is they're a DIY operation with no big
record or management company behind them, just a word of mouth thing for
some guys, who would normally be doing sessions or backing those with the
record contracts, playing the music they like to play.
They also usually do a clinic in the afternoon included in the gig ticket
price.

Mostly popular music, as opposed to conservatory music. Our commercial
music program includes jazz, rock, country and contemporary Christian
ensembles, and has majors in instrumental performance, music business,
