Steve's Jazz Kitchen
Steve's Jazz Kitchen has a lot of elements of a kitchen.
We produce things that are sweet or spicy or meaty, or light-- but it's all
tasty for the ears and nourishing for the soul. There's plenty of variety -
ballads, bossas, blues, swing, funk, 3/4 time, rumbas. But every thing we play
is a jazz classic though many are not heard that much anymore.- every tune has
a great melody, and a beat.
