The Urban Jazz Coalition plays a unique blend of smooth R&B jazz. The emotionally charged saxophone work of Ben Sherburne with Lee Savory on trumpet / flugelhorn is underscored by Brandon Howard’s lush multi-layered keyboards. The rhythm section of bassist Phil Raney, drummer Jim Bridges, Joe Gothard on guitar/vocals and world class percussionist Hector Maldonado, kicks out a multitude of funky, jazz-inflected grooves. Their repertoire includes their own compositions as well as many fan favorite hits from other well known artists.

Urban Jazz Coalition has built a strong regional following thru their energizing live performances at clubs, concerts and festivals, and as an opening act for a variety of top national smooth jazz artists including Spyro Gyra, Rick Braun, Larry Carlton, The Rippingtons, Roy Ayers, Pieces of a Dream, Will Downing, Vesta Williams, Ken Navarro, Jonathan Butler, and Al Jarreau.
