Take the format of a traditional chamber ensemble (combining sounds from each of the four instrument groups -- brass, woodwinds, percussion, and strings). Add a fifth (the human voice). Then take a left turn towards Brubeck, the blues, and other surprise visits along the way. That’s the platform for the Five Families Ensemble led by NY jazz pianist, sax player Monk Rowe. This is a feel-good band!
