Jazzy Blu consist of bassist Larry Richardson, jazz guitarist Leslie Lee, saxophonist Brent Birkhead, keyboardist Clay Morrow, vocalist Keith Brown, vocalist Danielle Hatchell, vocalist Bridgette Haggins and percussionist Mike Artis to complete Jazzy Blu. Each of the musicians bring an extremely diverse background, from Jazz, Funk, Rock, Gospel, and Blues to R& B and beyond. It is that diversity that gives Jazzy Blu its slightly different flavor, one you can't quite put your finger on. Jazzy Blu released its debut CD self titled Jazzy Blu, show-casing the innovative sounds of true jazz diversity. In 2010 Jazzy Blu opened on the Gulf coast at BayFest 2010 for Grammy award winner Mary J. Blige! The band also recently performed to a sold out crowd at the legendary Blues Alley! Jazzy Blu has shared the stage with such national artists as, The Stylistics, The Whispers, The Legendary Ojays, Baby Face, Kem, Chrisette Michelle, Chaka Khan and more! Jazzy Blu has a repertoire that is extremely diverse, playing traditional jazz as well as neo-soul.

• Everyone who was at the fund raiser enjoyed Jazzy Blu. I have nothing but wonderful and excellent feedback about Jazzy Blu. We will probably request to have them come back for next year's fundraiser. all the best, Victoria Stinson Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay 410-377-6270 ext. 27 -- Mary B, Baltimore, MD, 11/7/2008
• Jazzy Blu was AMAZING this summer at our family reunion. They were professional, courteous, and extremely good at reading the crowd. I have never worked with a more classy and down-to-earth group of people. You will not be disappointed! Here are some of the comments from our Family Reunion Survey. “If I could afford it, I would have that band there every morning when I woke up, on my lunch break, and after work when I got in my car.” “This is the most fun we’ve ever had at a reunion. ” “First and foremost, these people LOVE MUSIC. I danced the heels off my shoes!” “The perfect mix of good people and good music. I want them at my wedding!” -- Miriam W, Baltimore, MD, 7/17/2010
• This is the most professional, talented group of musicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They were a phenomenal addition to my corporate event, and they are absolutely my go-to band for all of my future events. Their musical depth and breadth perfectly complemented the event - they have amazing range and were very flexible. -- Patrina C, Washington, DC, 11/17/2011

• Our wedding site was about 100 miles away and Jazzy Blu made it through heavy rain / thunderstorms / tornado warning to our wedding, on time and ready to play! We initially planned for an outdoor ceremony with our own speaker system, but it was drenched in rain and we were forced to move the ceremony indoors without any music. Their sax player volunteered to play the ceremony music and it was beautiful. Everyone at the reception was very impressed with Jazzy Blu! They played a good variety, kept the crowd upbeat, and the vocalist was incredible. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again. I've been dropping their name to everyone I know. -- Alexis C, Lewes, DE, 5/31/2008
