Motown R and B

Motor City Beat is a dynamic, high energy, rhythm and blues and Motown band, ranging from 3 to 10 pieces, depending on the engagement and budget.  Band leader Louis Johnson (piano, sax, flute & vocals) is joined by “Motown Larry Walton” on bass, Sandy Love (Guitar, trumpet & vocals) and Carl Graves on drums.  Lead vocalists Lindsey Longmire and Aivey Lee are frequent guests and we add a horn section and percussionist, as required.  The group is ideal for dance parties and is also comfortable playing cocktail jazz.

Aivey Leigh

Our core jazz group features prominent Detroit area bassist Don Mayberry (& Wil Austin). In addition to jazz standards, we play jazz versions of pop and rock tunes. Like the R & B group, we don’t try to sound like anyone other than ourselves but put our jazz spin on all kinds of things, like Beatles, Earth Wind and Fire and Gordon Lightfoot. We add a drummer, female vocalist and/or sax and/or trumpet to this ensemble, as customers require.
