Welcome

The Jazz Punishers quirky name is representative of the band members' sense of humor and lightheartedness about the music they love to play. We play a blend of classic jazz standards, many with a fresh twist, contemporary jazz, and even some R&B. We're a perfect fit for functions and celebrations where a sense of sophistication sans snootiness is desired. Our genre: Nouveau classic jazz with contemporary spice.

We're a versatile and lively jazz quartet with occasional vocal interludes by featured artists.

Jason Macres, Saxophones & EWI

Ed Spargo, Bass
Steve Bankuti, Drums

and featuring:
Marcia J. Macres, Vocals
