All That Jazz...
The newly formed All That Jazz, comprised of veteran musicians in the Denver jazz scene, is devoted to providing listeners with music of the highest caliber. With years of combined experience entertaining audiences at many of Denver’s bars, restaurants and clubs, we are equally at home playing lush ballads, upbeat funk, infectiously groovin’ straight ahead swing, fiery bebop, or cool bossa novas.
