Dana Land and her Sexytet

Dana Land has been stirring up the jazz scene with a refreshing style that is seldom heard and a playful presence that is rarely seen. Her repertoire spans
the beautiful standards from the Great American Songbook, sassy blues and sensual Brazilian compositions.

Dana will be performing with her Sexytet, featuring Jonathan Alford, Chris Amberger, Jeff Sanford, and Akira Tana. Pianist Jonathan Alford is a first-call jazz and Latin accompanist in the Bay Area . His skill, diversity and passion comes through in his highly inventive and dynamic playing. Bassist Chris Amberger has been around the jazz scene for many years and his apparent talent proves it. A few of the people Chris has toured with, or backed up are Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Tommy Dorsey, Rosemary Clooney, Anita O'Day, and Sammy Davis. Jr,
Jeff Sanford: two words...reed wiz! Tenor, soprano, alto, baritone saxes, clarinet, flute and he's a master of all. He is a consummate musician; playful, gritty, beautiful, soulful and always appropriate. Drummer Akira Tana is and and educator, leader of his own band, and one of the most sought after drummers on the international jazz scene. He has worked with many diverse musicians from around the world from Sonny Rollins and Lena Horne to Charles Aznevour and Maurice Hines.
