The Jazz Expressions:

The touring band for vocalist JIMMY SCOTT

Launched by the famed jazz balladeer Jimmy Scott as his backup band fifteen years ago, it took on a life of its own, and with his blessings and urgings is performing on its own.

Always staffed by powerhouse players, it has blossomed under bassist Hilliard Greene’s direction since 1994.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY…

"I can’t say enough about the Jazz expressions. It would be hard to find more committed or more brilliant musicians. Their improvisations and progressive unions are flawless. For anyone who appreciates top-notch jazz symmetry, it doesn’t get much better."
- John Hoglund /Backstage

"The Jazz Expressions, led by Bassist Hilliard Greene, may be the best supporting group currently backing a singer."
- Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe

"The New York-based trio called The Jazz Expressions opened with high-octane bop… Their richly textural, three-way musical conversations were impressive…"
- Joseph Blake, Times Colonist, Victoria
