Why this name?
Originally our name was New Age Swing, but we only used that because we had a gig and not a name and a newspaper reporter wanted to know so we said New Age Swing. We changed our name to Splash of Jazz when our manager and former drummer, Mike Paddock, thought it up and the band took a vote and it stuck so we kept it.
Do you play live?
We only play live right now. We have a demo disc, but the quality is terrible. We play where we can get the gigs, we'll do just about anything. Playing with the band is amazing, we love it. One moment really stick out in my mind. That moment is DJ's Lounge. DJ's was so amazing, the crowd was lovin' it and we were lovin' it. That night we made over 200 dollars from tips. It was just great.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet doesn't really change the music industry. If people want to see a band they can't download the feeling of seeing them live. Bands can really make their money by touring. Personally I wouldn't care if our music was out there, the feeling of the live music is so much btter and unexplainable. The Mp3 controversy is all because of the record labels losing money. the bands shouldn't care they only make not even half, sometimes, of the record sales, The record labels and executives make almost all the money.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would not make it unless we got more than what the label made.
Your influences?
We play a lot of jazz and blues. We have latin pieces and rock pieces. We also improv more than a lot of bands do which really increases the live experience because with improv you never hear the same thing twice.
Anything else...?
Contact us for anything! We'll be glad to play for anything, we'll play weddings to birthday parties to sold out concerts at the Pavillion
