The interesting instrumentation consisting of viola, cello, saxophone, guitar, bass, and drums allows for the synthesis of jazz, chamber and world music. The project has performed for over 10,000 people throughout South Florida at venues including The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, The Hollywood Jazz Festival and Sunfest. They have recently released a live recording of its January 2001 performance at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts featuring guest pianist Don Friedman and Bobby Thomas Jr. For more information, please call: 305.613.2325
