The Jazz Defenders

Defenders of Hard Bop

The Jazz Defenders are champions – or “defenders” – of the hard bop heritage of jazz.  They echo the golden age of Blue Note records back in the 1950s and 60s featuring geats such as Horace Silverand Art Blakey.  But they’re not mere nostalgists – their material is original and varied. 

Blue Note Revisited

Led by the formidable jazz pianist George Cooper, the band turns the legacy of Blue Note funky. Also with solid grooves and catchy horn lines, they blend the best of jazz, hip hop, and groove.
