Launched by the famed jazz balladeer Jimmy Scott as his backup band, the Jazz Expressions band took on a life of its own with his blessings and urgings. Always staffed by powerhouse players, it has blossomed under bassist Hilliard Greene’s direction since 1994. Also featuring TK Blue (sax, flute), Sharp Radway (piano), and Dwayne “Cook” Broadnax (drums). “I can’t say enough about the Jazz expressions. It would be hard to find more committed or more brilliant musicians. Their improvisations and progressive unions are flawless. For anyone who appreciates top-notch jazz symmetry, it doesn’t get much better.”

– John Hoglund, Backstage
