Interpreted by young and talented musicians from Guadalajara, Mexico (the youngest one being 16 years old) under the direction of the Austrian saxophonist and bandleader Klaus Mayer. Features a young vocalist whose exceptional talent has led her to develop a unique and intriguing style that exudes youth yet reminds one of the maturity, brilliance and freshness of the great ladies of song Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James. Klaus Mayer, Austrian citizen, who left his country to play jazz in the US and then moved to Mexico where he found fertile grounds and acceptance for his music, formed the band in 2009 inviting young instrumentalists of Guadalajara, Mexico hungry to learn the craft of playing jazz and big band. Initially the band had five horns (term musicians use for wind instruments), a rhythm section of three (piano, bass and drums) and a singer. Over the next six years the instrumentation expanded and now there are five saxophones, three trumpets, three trombones, piano, guitar, drums, bass and vocals. The band has performed with some of Mexico´s famous rock singers like Jose Fors (Cuca), Ugo Rodriguez (Azul Violeta), Sara Valenzuela (La Dosis) and other singers and songwriters like Ricardo Caballero (La Academia), Paola Vergara, Jaramar, Henry Reneau (Afro Brothers) among others. The band is a steady at Mexico´s jazz festivals. It also has done concerts with some important jazz players and big band directors who live in the US like Alex Sipiagin (Mingus Big Band, Dave Holland Sextet), Boris Kozlov (Mingus Big Band), Pete Rodriguez (Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, Tito Puente), Dave Douglas (SF Jazz Collective, John Zorn). The band has steadily expanded its repertoires starting out studying the styles of the orchestras of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Buddy Rich, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie.
