Reviews
…Beneath the mild-mannered exteriors beats the soul of the Blakey-Silver tradition, a rough and tumble side expressed in “Frenzy.”
– Chuck Berg, Contemporary Currents Jazz Times, February 1994
I feel we will be hearing a lot from and about this East Coast-based talent. The date offers some fast hard swing to a soft funk-rock. The title track is an electronic funk.
– Lee Carson California Jazz Now, September 1993
Not a Strange Thing at all…Liked “Monks of The Castle” and “Gentle Breeze.”
– W.O.B.O. 88.7 Cincinnati, Ohio
Good selection and good sounds…”I Thought About You” is really nice with Mike Davis’ flugalhorn. The title track is good – Bazen is very talented…
– Jack Simpson Jack Simpson’s Jazz On The Beach Florida

The USA Canteen is the place to be!
The new mini CD is here! Relive the 40’s any time you want by ordering your copy at Music Unlimited’s online store.
Let the good times roll with a jumpin’ big band, dazzling vocalists, swing dancers and more. The lovely “Andrews Sisters” vocal trio bring the magic of the 1940’s to your guests with memorable wartime songs like “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”, “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree”, “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen”, “Rum and Coca Cola” and more! Dressed to the hilt and All-American as apple pie, these ladies are always a hit.
A 9 to 17-piece big band with vocalists deliver favorites from the swing era, while swing dancers entertain and encourage your crowd to join in the fun. “In The Mood”, “American Patrol”, “Sing, Sing, Sing”, “Take the ‘A’ Train”, “Satin Doll”, “Opus One” and other popular swing tunes set the tone for a spectacular evening. The Modernaires-style vocal quartet, The Cosmopolitans, swing you back to the stagedoor canteen with great swinging standards like “Chattanooga Choo Choo”, “I’ve Got a Gal In Kalamazoo”.
Dancers, singers and a live swing band make this a great way to entertain your guests. Event planners have raved about this group’s talent, enthusiasm and authenticity and guests call for encores at the end of every evening.
To secure this show or other musical options for your event, please contact James Bazen.
Janine Wilson fronts a … band of pros who keeps it mellow
behind her rich vocals, which are alternately sultry, breathy and
powerful. . . .Wilson keeps focus on her voice, heard to great affect on material ranging from a beautiful version of Elvis Costello’s Almost Blue to Duke Robillard’s Passionate Kiss.

GRUPO LATINO CONTINENTAL was founded in 1987 and has been performing in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for the many years.
The band recorded its first CD in 1992, hitting the top ten list on radio stations in Bogota, Cali, Cartagena, and Pereira in Columbia, South America. The music is a modern interpretation of famous Latin songs, but the group also plays traditional Latin music such as Salsa, Merengue and Cumbia.
The band has appeared in numerous musical and cultural events. Some of these include the Baltimore Arts Festival, The mayor’s Committee on Hispanic Affairs, the Republican National Hispanic Assembly as well as events for Johns Hopkins University, George Mason University and the Organization of American States.
Reflecting the musical traditions of old Russia, the St. Petersburg Trio consists of domra (Russian mandolin), cantra-bass balalaika and bayan (button accordion). Whether playing music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic or 20th Century this versatile ensemble shines with amazing technique and sensitive beauty.
The St. Petersburg Trio will make weddings, business conferences or educational concerts a unique and sophisticated cultural event.

Trio Joyoso is a celebrated woodwind ensemble that includes flute, oboe, and bassoon.

Whether its Wagner’s Wedding March, Bartok’s folk dances or fun show tunes, Trio Joyoso adds sophistication and individuality to any affair.
Want to be creative? Want to show your impeccable taste? Trio Joyoso is the obvious choice.
