Nuclear Jazz Sextet

The Nuclear Jazz Sextet is a new 6-musician jazz standards combo featuring a trombonist, trumpeter, saxophonist, pianist, bassist, and drummer. The band’s repertoire is drawn from a library of hundreds of professional arrangements created by bandleader and trumpeter Cary Davids. These unique arrangements, including some well-known tunes from the Big Band Era and Great American Songbook sung by vocalists such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, are the proprietary ‘sauce’ that make Cary’s bands special.
