The Courage4 plays jazz standards – but not with your typical instrumentation.
Pianist and vocalist Martine Courage leads the group, which also includes Rob Frayne on tenor sax and Fender bass, Mike Essoudry on drums – and Laura Nerenberg on violin. They play their own arrangements in an atmospheric, grooving style: not like your typical jazz quartet. “It’s not a pop band, it’s not a jazz band, but it’s somewhere in the middle. But it’s jazzy in the process,” says Frayne.

Petr Cancura (tenor sax)

Rob Frayne’s Drumswamp is a bigger drummier all-star cast of 10 cool players. We love Rhythm. Each piece with custom 3-drum grooves incl.
