The Band
The Sixth Edition is an ensemble of working Bay Area musicians: voice, horns, and a rhythm section that has shared a lot of hours on the bandstand. We play as a quartet, a quintet, or a full sextet, depending on what the occasion calls for. Several of the players are also available to hire on their own for more intimate settings.
