It is Keith's goal to help continue the jazz tradition of music with a touch of class.In the year 2013 Keith started an ongoing jazz concert series entitled An Evening of Elegance. An Evening of Elegance is an event where the attire is an upscale After Five where you should look as smooth as the music that is being presented.
The band was formed out of a concert series I (Keith) started about 2 years ago called An Evening of Elegance. The band members were the house band for the event, so I just decided to make it official.
