Backlash

This amazing Jazz Quintet was formed in 2002 as a vehicle to explore one of the great eras of jazz - the 1960s Blue-Note hard-bop style. It was during this decade that some of the greats recorded ground breaking albums with quintet. This is one of the hottest jazz groups around.

This soulful jazz musician is the real deal.
