Their musical backgrounds are diversely-styled – a solid blend of both East and West coast mentalities. At the root of it, Jazz Punks strives to serve up classic jazz styles in an electrifying, unique manner – that appeals to the jazz layman as much as the jazz aficionado. They often meld these classic jazz styles with deep undercurrents of classic rock – from Hendrix to Nirvana to Zeppelin to Clash: classic jazz, uniquely interpreted and arranged into a more widely accessible and widely embraceable style. No 8 min., self-absorbed solos. No charts. And mere replication and imitation is verboten.
They each agree there is a significant place for classic jazz, of course - they love it, and are deeply influenced by it. But, Jazz Punks fans should never leave a show feeling like they've visited a museum – a "club where time stood still". They want listeners of all ages, backgrounds and tastes to share what THEY feel as they play – that something unique, exciting, and challenging is happening here.
