The Saxophone Congress & 2's music is an eclectic smorgasbord of creative saxophone and assorted woodwind stylings, sometimes featuring three baritone saxes, and a powerhouse rhythm section of electric guitar and drums.
They will be performing music of some of the great Masters of Jazz, including Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, and a very special set of the music of Carla Bley. The band members have all been performing with many popular Bay Area groups (Mo' Fone, Lavay Smith, Mitch Woods and his Rocket 88s, Macy Blackman & the Mighty Fines, Boca do Rio, New Squatoolas, Kotoja, Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums), as well many national and international musical groups. Their performances combine unusual arrangements with a sense of surprise and imagination.
