FlavaEvolution is a most uncommon jazz quartet. With just 3 horns and bass (no piano or drums) they are bringing something altogether fresh to the Pioneer Valley, creating a sound that crosses a chamber string ensemble with modern jazz, 1970's soul and beautiful balladry. All 4 of the players in FlavaEvolution are either UMass Amherst music graduates or current students there, and 3 of them also hail from Northampton's hottest jazz/soul ensemble the Leah Randazzo Group (voted best jazz by the Valley Advocate readers' poll for the last 3 years). FlavaEvolution is a truly versatile group, able to perform for virtually any event or in any venue.
FlavaEvolution is currently available for club dates, weddings (ceremonies and reception/cocktails), private parties/events, music festivals, jazz education clinics, and recording sessions. As an added bonus, our two award winning composers can create special arrangements of your favorite songs, or compose an original work that helps put your personal "Flava" on your special event. FlavaEvolution is your total music entertainment package, and we are ready to perform for you!
