Urban Jazz Coalition announces National tour

Following show stopping appearances at the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, Jacksonville Jazz Festival, City of Lights Festival in Las Vegas, Jazz in the Park in Florida and the release of "Down to Get Up," the URBAN JAZZ COALITION (UJC) is bringing their funky sounds to major festival and concert appearances coast to coast. Redefining the rules and reshaping the face of contemporary jazz today, the upbeat vibes of the URBAN JAZZ COALITION have staged a takeover of the summer tour season.

Comprised of drummer Jim Bridges, bassist Phil Raney, guitarist Joe Gothard, keyboardist Brandon Howard, percussionist Hector Maldonado, saxophonist Keith Newton, and trumpeter Lee Savory, these accomplished musicians have shared bills with jazz heavyweights like Al Jarreau, Larry Carlton, Rick Braun, Paul Taylor, and Jonathan Butler.

Flushed with lushly rhythmic grooves, funky bass lines, a smokin' hot brass section, UJC has created an URBAN JAZZ revolution. Don't miss your chance to catch them live in 2007!
