Cell Block Seven is a California jazz band favoring the West Coast traditional jazz sound of Lu Watters, Turk Murphy and the Bay City Jazz Band of the '50s in a classic jazz lineup led by two cornets. Their many festivals, tours, and concert successes are a direct result of their very professional approach coupled with a great sound and an extensive repertoire. As with most bands, the lineup has changed somewhat over the years, but most of the present team have been together for ten years or more. Cell Block 7 is a very versatile and entertaining band. By doubling their talents on the three double bell euphoniums, Cell Block Seven is able to produce some very different sounds -- from fast, exciting trios to smooth and mellow blues -- all in wonderful low brass harmony.
