"It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing" -- Duke Ellington
We are a unique and exciting Chicago suburban jazz band -- we love the many famous jazz standards, and we love to swing! We also are playing tunes that risk being lost to time -- particular Spyro Gyra, Steely Dan, Eart, Wind and Fire -- all with our own jazzy twist!
The band was great. Everything went smoothly and all of our guests raved how wonderful they were.
Thanks again FrontSix. We would definitely book you again for future events.

Thank you, A’lisa! We really enjoyed ourselves! And it was a very well organized event!

Gig Length: 90 - 180 minutes
We provide great background music, but most love to listen and watch us play. Smooth Jazz, medium swing, Latin jazz, Bossa, ballads. So many great tunes, so little time!
