The Not 2 Cool Jazz Trio plays a mixture of standards and classic jazz in the spirit of Chet Baker, Chris Botti, and Toots Thielemans. They have an intimate and lyrical sound that follows the west coast style of cool jazz. Their large repertoire of songs includes recognizable standards, romantic ballads, and classic jazz with an emphasis on tasteful and timeless melodies.

  • Their core group, the Not 2 Cool Jazz Trio, consists of trumpet, guitar or piano, and upright bass. This instrumentation provides a flexible format, with the band members doubling on percussion and chromatic jazz harmonica.

  • For larger venues, the trio can be expanded to a full dance band, the Not 2 Cool Jazz Band, consisting of trumpet, saxophone, vocalist, piano, bass, and drums.

  • Other instrumentations include a solo classical trumpet for weddings and church services, and an acoustic duet (trumpet with guitar or piano) for more intimate settings.

The band is available to play quiet background music at restaurants, coffee houses, weddings, and receptions, as well as a more upbeat sound for special events and jam sessions in the Baltimore-Washington area.
