Powerhouse Jazz Quintet

Our musical story started over 50 years ago growing up in a small coastal town in north county San Diego named Del Mar ("Where the turf meets he surf"). Del Mar was know for its infamous horse race track started by Bing Crosby in the late 30's but it also became a haven for the creative arts in the seventies. The three co-leaders of the band (Bim, Steve, and Bryant) played  music together through middle and high school, traveled to the east coast to Boston in the late 70's, where Bryant and Steve attended the Berklee College of Music. After that, we all ended up in different parts of the country, (San Diego, Brooklyn New York, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon) following our passion to study and play "Jazz". In 2002, we were asked to play a "Reunion" Concert in Del Mar at the old Powerhouse Historical Building at Sea Grove Park. Hence, the name for the band "The Powerhouse Quintet". We hope you enjoy our music recently recorded in August 2023 at Peter Spargue's Spragueland Studios.
