And what does George Kahn think of his new group?

“I am thrilled to be working with these three “Divalicious” singers. For a long time I have felt that Jazz lost it's way when people stopped dancing to it. Back in the 40's, Jazz was America's pop music. Then musicians got too hip, the playing got too far out, and the music left the groin and moved to the cerebrum. Big mistake. THE JAZZ & BLUES REVUE covers a wide spectrum of jazz, from swing to standards to funk to afro-beat. The idea that holds it all together is that the groove comes first, last and always. The melody supports the groove. The solos stay in the groove. This music grooves - and we want the audience to groove with it, dancing in the aisles, if possible.”
