An eclectic combination of music; hard bop, funk, jazz, Latin jazz, Brazilian, salsa and Venezuelan music. 'Latin-based but firmly in modern jazz territory, with any one of the five liable to reel off dazzling solos, it's a truly great band that you'd be daft to miss' - Stratford Jazz

'A five-piece band that combines different jazz styles and rhythms from funk to South American. Edgar is a fantastic Venezuelan pianist and a great exponent of Latin jazz. 'A delight … alternating between percussive rhythm parts and unfettered improvising.' – Ian Mann
