This all-star band succeeds at bringing back the sound of the classic Art Van Damme Quintet while infusing the music with their own individual personalities. Recreates a sound heard in clubs in the 1960s and 70s, when the accordion was the lead instrument. Inspired by Art Van Damme, who led a quintet with vibes, guitar, bass, and drums. As a studio musician during 1945 1960, he worked constantly on radio and television for NBC. He hosted his own 15-minute show for NBC Radio for 139 episodes, worked with many singers (including Jo Stafford), and recorded at least 42 albums as a leader, and over 150 overall. Steve Hobbs wrote the arrangements, bringing back the Van Damme sound in a fresh, modern way
