The band is working diligently on every single track ensuring that it is just right . “ We put a lot of attention and skill into it ,” Hertel shares . He says you can expect the album just before Christmas next year so put that on your wish list ! In addition to creating an album , the band dreams of playing at notable festivals across the country . They have their sights set on ones such as The Monterey Jazz Festival , The Newport Jazz Festival and The Sun Valley Jazz & Music Festival . When they do , you can bet Art Chowder will be there to bring the experience right to you .
In the meantime , if you ’ d like to experience them first-hand , Lucky You Lounge is the best place to find them raising the roof twice-monthly with Hot Club of Spokane . “ Spokane has wonderful jazz history , and we hope people continue to see more and more that Spokane is a great jazz city in the here and now ,” Hertel says as he encourages people to come out to their shows . “ We ’ re so eager to see our community come together again . There ’ s no feeling like playing live ,” Hertel mentions .
