LUCKY NO. 1 BAND
Jayn Pettingill, alto sax
Matt Plummer, trombone
Jan Martinelli, bass
Amy Shelley, drums

Saxophone, trombone, bass and drums make up this unique San Francisco-based quartet. Driven by original compositions, the Lucky No.1 Band remains true to a jazz sensibility, but draws inspiration from a number of individuals and styles including Hendrix, Mingus, The Pretenders, Joni Mitchell, Monk, Ron Miles, and Emmy Lou Harris. Shouting multi-layered complexities, whisper-soft singularities, and hard swinging riffing, all with a beat that urges the music forward, this ensemble's music is sure to create a memorable musical journey for any listener.
