Death & Saxes is Santa Cruz’s premier straight-ahead jazz quartet. Founded by saxophonist John Bouwsma, a Santa Cruz native and Kuumbwa education program alum, Death & Saxes interprets standards and classic jazz compositions as well as original songs and arrangements. Behind Bouwsma’s tenor is a rhythm section of Alameda’s own Harrison Brand on guitar, as well as longtime Santa Cruz jazz veterans Jamie Brudnick on upright bass, and Ben Sibley on drums. Together, Death & Saxes consistently creates exciting performances with dynamic solos, creative musical conversations, and incorporating a wide variety of musical styles. 

Hailing from Santa Cruz, Full Court Press is a quintet that draws inspiration from a slew of musical genres and artists. Taking in the sensibilities of jazz, hip-hop, rock, and many other styles, they produce what can only be described as “nuclear fusion”. What does that sound like? Only one way to find out…

Full Court Press features Brett Grimm on piano and keys, Dylan Sutro on guitar, Micah Lyons on bass, Will Davies on drums, & Max Goldfield on saxophone.
