The band quickly made it's mark on the Twin Cities jazz scene with a unique voice focusing on great writing (much of which comes from Stan and other band members), extensive use of woodwinds, and a full ten piece brass section. Over the years Stan and his band have performed over two hundred fifty concerts in the area. O'Gara's in Saint Paul has provided a monthly venue for the group for over twelve years straight. In addition, the band's "Children Are The Melody" benefit concert series uses the drawing power of big band jazz to raise awareness of and funds for charities and programs designed to assist children.
The band's first recording "Good Intentions" brought the band international attention and acclaim from fans and musicians for it's creativity, musicianship, and fresh approach to the big band genre. "Stratford Blue", the band's second release and first on the Northmark Lab label, has already garnered enthusiastic support from artists and enthusiasts around the world.
