"Jazz, Are you ready to DIE for a !@$"???

About Me

What are we you my ask? We are a Band that really has no specific genre of music that we operate in. There is NO boundry to where we can go on any given event. No matter if it is Jazz (contemperay, straight ahead, or fusion), Soul/R&B, or Hip Hop you will always get and have that JAZZ influence there. The LLQ was formed in 2000 and is Baltimore based. The group has delighted cities such as Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia, Harrisburgh, Dover, Virginia, California, and Virginia. The Group has released it's first project "The Nightlife:The September Sessions" whitch can be purchased from the website WWW.LLQmusic.com. The band is currently working on its sophmore project due for this December. Also be on the look out for Trumpeter Michael Fitzhugh's debut project!!! "Jazz, Everything Else is Just Details"
