"The 8-piece band is remarkable and entirely deserves the thunderous applause they are given. The jazzy Christmas tunes sung by the radiant Imani Rousselle paired with dizzying sultry trumpets gave me goosebumps and I wished I could listen to them play forever. The band had transported me to a smoky underground jazz bar — all that was missing was a cocktail."
