Based in Seattle, they have played around the United States, as well as in France and Iceland.
  The band has performed at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois-sur-Seine and at Juan de Fuca Festival. They have played with Martin Taylor, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Gail Pettis, a two-time recipient of the Earshot Jazz 'Jazz Vocalist Of The Year' award.

On their twelfth album, Time Flies, released in 2015, all tracks are their own compositions except for one classic bossa nova.
