Versatility is the name of our game. All members are highly sought
after Hawkes Bay musicians, and fluent with all styles of music. We
can play Jazz classics from the 1930’s if required right through to
current music of the 21st century. We each have over 25 years
playing experience. Weekly rehearsals coupled with gigs means we are
a highly rehearsed, professional and versatile unit.
We also perform as a Jazz trio or duo for certain gigs.
JOHN FLETCHER is an excellent vocalist in all genres, but is also an
amazing front person who reads the crowd and makes the audience feel
involved. He has played the lead in many musical shows, (eg Les
Miserables,Tommy etc), performed in Nashville, TV, and national
sport events.
A few of the contemporary artists we cover are:
Stevie Wonder, Santana, Doobie Brothers, Dragon, Dave Dobbyn, John
Mayer, Van Morrison, Beatles, Eagles and Creedence Clearwater
Revival.
Our Jazz repertoire includes: standards from 1930s-1950s, along with
