A FRESH JAZZ MIX...

They add exciting new jazz treatments of tunes like the Beatles' Can't Buy Me Love, Vince Guaraldi's Linus and Lucy, and James Taylor's Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, making each song their own.

HISTORY...
The group was founded in 1989 by composer-guitarist Brad Powell. At age eleven, Brad won first-place at the Southwestern Youth Music Festival, for a guitar solo. As a teenager, he was a protégé under Grammy award-winning jazz guitarist Joe Pass. Brad was featured at the Hollywood Bowl, performing Gerald Wilson's Sonata for Guitar and Orchestra, with the composer conducting. Brad later composed music for several hit television shows (including Hill Street Blues and The 'A' Team, working with Mike Post). The 1998 debut album Brad Powell Expedition: First Step In A Long Journey on Geofonica Records, has been featured on jazz radio stations across the country.



"Brad Powell is a guitarist who studied under the late, great jazz master Joe Pass... he's a deft composer with a knack for intricate scoring...The horns are richly orchestral and the rhythms have a natural flow and swing, and Powell has assembled a team of top-notch players...to realise his stylistically diverse conceptions."
