Who We Are

We’re a Bay Area-based band of long-time musical compatriots. We formed this group with the idea playing original music that nourishes both mind and heart; melodic modern jazz to be enjoyed by everyone, whether you’re an experienced jazz listener or you’re hearing jazz for the first time. We’re on Facebook, but this web site and the email list is the best way to keep on top of all things FivePlay.
