The antidote for the light-footed and tepid reception of chamber Jazz, the Kelly Craig Sextet has proven to be a prolific Jazz machine.

The conception the Sextet was not so much an act of want as need. Baking their own Jazz with verve was the only choice for these active musicians.

The Kelly Craig Sextet is a classic collection of sax, trumpet, drums, piano and bass, a rich post bop monster.  Made up of players oozing a restless need to find improvisational vehicles, the Sextet’s enthusiasm is infectious.  The Sextet’s ability to produce original material with polish and ease allows movement throughout the Jazz spectrum.  The most discerning Jazz aficionado will listen intently and wonder why he or she had not heard that hard bop tune on a recording in the past, the answer is, you don’t own the Kelly Craig Sextet CD yet.
