LIVE MUSIC - COSTA BLANCA NORTH
JAZZ / BOSSA / LATIN / FUSION

JAZZCATS: a Costa Blanca North network of (mostly jazz influenced) musicians who play a cool mix of jazz, bebop, bossa nova, fusion, smooth jazz, latin at lower volume levels, perfect for a bar or restaurant. We can play as a duo, quartet, quintet or sextet, depending on the venue and the requirements and of course. the budget.
