This addition is certain to enhance what is already one of the more innovative bands in town–a collection of awesome instrumentalists who fuse jazz, rock and practically every other musical style you can name into a full-throated roar of sound. This ‘pane regularly provides adventurous listeners plenty of pleasure.
