With a three drummers, four horns, piano, bass, guitar and a lot of great singing this is a dynamic experience that can move anyone.

JAZZ CLUB MUNDO NOUVO

Designed for smaller settings, this version of the band customizes itself to anywhere from three to eight people to tap into its repertoire.
Equally adept at performing new charts in jazz clubs to folkloric material at local Art Festivals, this group can even be found around town playing timeless boleros in restaurants.
