Dave Lundin Jazz Trio

Clients can expect a reliable, on-time start, followed by 'real' jazz classics by composers like Miles, Coltrane, Parker and Monk played passionately and with consummate professionalism by some of the area's best musicians. We can focus on swing, be-bop, ballads, blues or Latin based on your preference. If appropriate, I will publicize our performance to increase your attendance. We take minimum breaks and always give our all for each and every performance.
