We are an instrumental jazz ensemble from Long Beach Poly and are available to play for special events and parties.
This band is far more than just a group of high school kids. Literally thought Lee Ritenour or someone big was playing at the event. I highly recommend hiring this band for any occasion that you are looking to make special.
Price Range: Contact for rates
Gig Length: 30 - 240 minutes
Languages: English
We play all styles of jazz depending on the occasion. From classic swing standards to more modern straight jazz, we can adapt to any setting and style that is given to us.
We are all still in high school at Long Beach Poly and we met through the jazz program there. Jacob Wolff (guitar), Nick Krauel (keyboard), and I, Jake Chaffee (bass) were friends from childhood and met again in high school on the common ground of jazz band. Our main drummer, Leandro Sinco, joined us on our first gig at Stroll and Savor on Second Street and after that we've played with all assortments of horn players as well as just our quartet.
We are willing to change the size, style, and gear of our ensemble to best fit your location and occasion. We are all very experienced musicians playing in various ensembles and playing very challenging music so if there are specific songs you would like to hear us play, let us know in advance and we would be happy to play them!

For a more traditional jazz performance we'll play jazz standards such as: Lady Bird, Georgia On My Mind, Some Day My Prince Will Come, and The Girl From Ipanema. For a performance calling for more fusion jazz, we might play songs such as: Red Clay, Lingus, Butterfly, and Slick.
We have many different influences which shows in all of our playing. Our biggest influences range from Miles Davis to Snarky Puppy!
