   About Urban Transport
In the last four years Urban Transport has proven to be one of the most exciting jazz groups to come out of the Detroit area. Urban Transport features band leader, composer, and trombonist Vincent Arvel Chandler, alto saxophonist and composer Dean Moore, bassist Josef Deas, and drummer Sean Dobbins. Urban Transport Live! is a brand new CD that features all original compositions performed live at the Kerry Town Concert House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Take note of the warm, soulful sound and accessible style generated from the trombone/alto sax front line, elastic rhythm section, and emotionally driven compositions.
