Since then they have both become fathers and for the last 5 years Rob has been living at the other end of the state whilst Carl has returned to University, making more then the occasional ‘jam’ impossible. Collectively they can boast over 30 years experience performing music in a wide variety of environments from the Army big-band to a ‘Reggae’ combo, both Rob and Carl having performed internationally.
Rob and Carl have drawn inspiration from their fatherhood experiences and are very excited about playing together again, putting new slants on some of the most well known and grooviest jazz standards, such as, Take 5, Summertime, Well You Needn’t, Night and Day ,So What and many more classics.
