Balanced by the instrumental force of our Grateful Brass/New Directions In Brass horns and the rhythm section of our Future Standard cohort, we form a musical Voltron of sorts. As a 10-piece group, we deliver earth-quaking tracks with our trademark Bay Area greasy yet complex Funk-Jazz hybrid.

We're the go-to ensemble for ambitious collaborations, both live and in recordings, partnering with artists like Martin Luther, Tiffany Austin, Lyrics Born, Gift of Gab, and many more. As the house band for Oakland Symphony and the immersive cirque-arts show The Soiled Dove, for which we provided the original score, our versatility shines. Additionally, we curate original programming for esteemed venues like Stanford University, SFJAZZ, and Oakland Art & Soul.
