Explosive performance

An amazing jazz performance with an explosive finish.

A blast from the past! Shelley Carrol and Brad Leali from 1989

A great old clip from a show called "Gregg's Living Room." Brad and Shelley have different, but complementary styles. This video shows a musical friendship that goes back more than twenty years.

"Honeysuckle Rose"

A jazz standard gets a special treatment from one of our favorite saxophonists.

Another great jazz performance

We're hoping that we can get these guys to sit in someday.
