The quintet of Bob Harvey, James Isaac, Chris Lewis, Dave Luvin and Todd Crookston is capturing the hearts of all listeners everywhere. Killer Strayhorn has worked hard to perfect this effortless magic trick titled “Long Story Short.” Yes there is a man of two behind the curtain. But pay no attention to all of that! Just let these five solid musicians transport you (for a short period of time) into their world. It’s a world where straight ahead jazz meets the whimsical world of a killer group of composers and arrangers. It’s straight ahead music for the twenty first century. It’s music that’s well, “killer.”
