I just love the fact that it is real pro musicians, playing jazz that is lounge/tiki. Right up my alley. I wish to god there was a band like this in my area looking for a bassist.

The only way to keep a scene like ours flourishing is to always have the best available acts performing. This band is doing it right!

Fantastic!

Granite, that brought back good memories of a great weekend! You and the band KILLED, and Suzanne was...well, everyone can see how phenomenal she was! Thanks for posting these.

Thank you all! It was a challenge and a pleasure playing that music and hearing Suzanne nail it the way she did. My favorite parts of the videos are when the girl directly in front of the camera knows there are difficult notes coming up, and her body language forecasts them, and then celebrates them. And you can see Suzanne and the rest of us feeding off that great Ohana audience. So much fun!
