About the Band

The band is based around a 3 piece rhythm section that can itself play lovely swinging jazz and latin music but can add more instruments or a singer to create a bigger more varied sound.

The Trio

The trio of piano, bass and drums are in big demand on the Scottish Jazz scene. They were the rhythm section for Fat Sams Band and at present play with King Louis and the Primas, Remembering Acker and lots of singers.

Swinging Ceilidh

We add the great accordionist Gregor Lowrey from ceilidh Minogue to the trio to create a swinging ceilidh sound. Often a fiddle too is added..

Bigger bands

We can add to the trio with a singer or a sax or trumpet player playing swing, jump jive, latin american or quiet mood jazz.
