@5saxman7 5saxman7 I was at the Playboy Jazz festival too and thought that Jazz Mafia was the most innovative act that performed. Good to see a group from my home town the Bay Area putting in major work. I loved harmonizing, rhyming and instruments all weaved in together. I was pleasantly surprised. They probably didn't get the huge response from the crowd that they deserved but it's good to see that someone else appreciated their performance.

Just saw these guys at the Playboy Jazz Festival today and for my money, they were the highlight of the festival.

that bald white kid is awful and embarrassing to watch. this was very interesting but that kid was so awkward he just threw off the whole vibe and made it look corny and unprofessional. who let him on stage?
