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 MySpace and Facebook, but this web site and the email list is the best way to keep on top of all things FivePlay.

News

Aug 6: We made the top ten for WVIA 89.9 FM Pittston, PA!

June 18: Back on the Roots Music Report at #40!

May 22: Moved up from #45 to #35 on the Roots Music Report! This is life-changing stuff, people. Also in the top ten on WPTC for the third week in a row, and this week’s top ten on WDPS!

May 9: We’re #9 on CJSW and #7 for the week on WMPG, Portland/Gorham, Maine. But can we crack the metropolitan Bangor market? Stay tuned.

May 8, 2010: We are #45 on this week’s RMR Jazz chart (Chicago Tribune).

The call of the Peloponnese: A radio station in Macedonia has requested a copy of the CD. Could a tour be in the offing? Could we also hit Albania?! Dare to dream.

More Slavic love: Andrzej Patlewicz, head of jazz for Polish Radio, requested the entire Auraline catalog! and tells us that we’ve won the national lottery. (OK, that last part sounds fishy to us, too.)

Interview: Listen to Tony interviewed by jazz DJ Gary Lowe on WSCA, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (26:43).

Spanish radio promo: purojazz promotes us to Chile jazz fans (26:43).
