Picture
Sweet Basil – Jazz Nonet. Is not just a small big band or a band that plays
only standard jazz classics. From Carole King's "Tapestry" and the Beatle's
"With A Little Help From My Friend" to Freddie Hubbardʼs “Red Clay” and the
New Orleans influenced Scofield composition “Peculiar”, Sweet Basil offers the
listener a broad range of colors and  jazz settings that range from
straight ahead to funk to the blues.
