About

We are a family group that has been together since 1985. We've toured ALL AROUND THE WORLD performing for Concerts, Festivals, Conventions, Casinos, Weddings, Balls, Cruses, Dances, Country Clubs, Private Party's, Mardi Gras Floats, Bars and Lounges, and the list goes on (you name it we've done it). We've perfected various styles of music with amazing musical arrangements and vocal harmonies. We can be as High Energy, Low Key or Very Sophisticated as you need. In general we began our show with Jazz, Smooth Jazz, flow into Motown -Old School, Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Reggae, Disco and Dance. Then if the group is young enough we will go into, Hip Hop, Rap and Top 40 Music. We can also do specific shows if requested - Ie. - Jazz, Motown, Blues, Smooth Jazz or Straight ahead Jazz, 50's, 60's, 70's, etc. We perform lots of harmony singing along with ballads and instrumentals of all kinds. Some of the Country's we've visited are; Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, France, England, Africa, Canada, Germany, all over the United States, many of the Caribbean Islands, France and the list goes on, many of these places many times over. Kurt Brunus plays Keyboards, Piano, Trumpet, Flugle Horn, Vocals and percussion. We have a Sax Player Larry(Skip)Thompson who also plays keys Tenor and soprano sax, sings R&B Reggae and Hip Hop. Our singer, Ms Cynthia Bland sings R&B, Jazz, Blues, Gospel & Pop. Our Bass Player Troy Branch has performed with us for the last 6yrs., and we have a main drummer Craig Washington, whose been with us for the last 6yrs. We recorded several CD's a Smooth Jazz CD called "Horny and Saxy", with all originals songs, a Smooth Jazz CD called "In My Mind" with R&B instrumentals, a Traditional Jazz CD called "Funk The Standards", a Blues, R&B, Gospel CD called "I Wonder" and a Rap, Hip Hop and R&B CD called "Deep South".

We've opened for Gladys Knight, Luther Vandros, The O'Jays, Bobby Brown, Kenny G, Freddie Jackson, Chuck Mangione, Maze, Michael Henderson, and Patti LaBelle, to name a few. BY the way we've performed with and for pretty much all the locals here in New Orleans. "WE ARE THE CALM AND THE STORM" FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
