Steve Pettafor, Bandleader and Trumpet

In 1997, Steve started a "rehearsal" band.  It soon became clear that the music they were making was too good to keep to themselves.  His leadership has created one of the hottest big bands working today.  His vision of blending classic and contemporary styles has produced an award-winning sound.  Inspired by Steve's enthusiasm and sense of fun, these accomplished players clearly enjoy themselves.

Arlene Zock, Vocals

Joining the band in December 2000, Arlene's charismatic delivery pays homage to the artistry of Peggy Lee, Anita O'Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and many others.  She performs with a passion that evokes the sultry style of yesteryear.
