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.

Band Members:

There are many cooks. Steve is always there on sax/flute/clarinet.
