The other members of the band are Phil Krawzak on tenor saxophone and clarinet;  Tom Hynes on acoustic guitar;  Dave Eastly on string bass and vocals; and Bryan Taylor on drums.  Fine musicians all, they work together to create a swingin' group sound.  The three part harmonies with Jim and Dave on vocals and Phil on clarinet is unique to the group and is wonderful to hear!
