“What makes us unique is that we are not stuck on any one form of jazz. We include smooth Jazz, boogie woogie, jump blues, some rockabilly, and have our own jazz take on non jazz songs, like Nowhere Man, or Stand By Me. “  Norine , a multi genre  published composer, both music and lyrics,  enjoys reinterpreting cover songs . 

Daniiel also composes as well as Richard, and together this trio is fast becoming the rage in the Tampa Bay Area for events, private parties, restaurants, and street festivals.
