Transport is a world class jazz quartet comprised of accomplished musicians. The versatility of their musicianship allows them to entertain in a variety of venues ranging from festivals, concerts, jazz clubs to private engagements. Their hope is to offer audiences of all walks of life the experience of true jazz--America’s own musical art form.
What makes the group spectacular is the diversity in music backgrounds. A collection of individuals whose playing talents far exceed the aural boundaries we often interpret in Jazz. As individuals each player stands on his own and each has an astounding solo career creating music tapestry in their own paradigms, but as the group “Transport” they do exactly what they aptly named their Jazz Band, Transporting you to other musical worlds and places beyond which your earthly psyche can perceive.
This is true listening at its best where the symbiotic relationship of man and his instrument creating music the listener can translate creating a place of war, peace, solitude, fortitude, sweetness & sorrow, all the sounds of creation are often produced by the creative forces in Transport.
