      Garuda Blue is a tight knit group of friends with a creative edge and a unique sound
      Abe
      FOUNDER, PIANIST/ARRANGER, AND BAND LEADER
      Abe is the quintessential up and coming jazz musician in the Bay Area. Having been heavily involved in the local Bay Area jazz scene for years, he has collaborated with great local and national artists including the Thelonious Monk competition winner saxophonist Andrew Speight. He studied extensively under the tutelage of the legendary jazz pianist Peter Horvath. As both band leader and entrepreneur, he arranges many of the band’s musical arrangements and manages the band.
       
      Patrick
      TRUMPET, VOCALS
      The youngest member of the band, Pat is the definition of a young prodigious talent. Since joining the band, he has more than proven his capabilities by a virtuosic mastery of the trumpet as well as his impressive vocal skills. He has been dubbed by many as “Chet Baker’s son” due to his uniquely stylistic trumpet playing and vocals that mirror a young Chet. His youthful charisma adds to his already impressive knowledge of music and contributes greatly to the band’s edginess.
       
      Matt
      SAXOPHONE, FLUTE, CLARINET, EWI
      Matt is our “shredder” horn player. Having studied extensively under the tutelage of the great jazz saxophonist and educator Dann Zinn, he brings the highest level of technical mastery and style to the table. With his full and well-rounded sound on both the alto and tenor saxophones coupled with his suave presentation the band’s frontline is unmatched in quality. Matt is adept in the classic jazz sounds of swing and bebop, smooth jazz, as well as providing the much-needed support in pop and party music with his slick sax solos.
       
      Danny
      UPRIGHT, ELECTRIC BASS
      Dubbed the “swingiest” bass player around and a veteran of the Bay Area music scene, Danny brings solid bass lines and attitude to the band. Danny regularly performs with local heavyweights including drummers Jason Lewis and Akira Tana. With an impeccable sense of time and virtuosic technique, Danny is the solid anchor of the band.
       
      Evan
      DRUMS
      Evan can be found everywhere. A household name in the Bay Area scene and a top drummer, Evan holds down several gigs a week playing with some of the biggest names around. A versatile and experienced drummer, Evan is a master in the art of swing but can switch at a moment’s notice to bring down the house with some heavy-duty party music.
