I'd like to throw my group's hat into the ring, but can't seem to turn on the messaging in this forum, so here's the site for my group and the contact info is in there if your son would like to use us, and would like to come hear us first we're playing this Sunday afternoon from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm at Tula's jazz club in Seattle.

Please go to the "Contact Us" link and email Jon Krueger (Band Leader) to set up the contact. (Tell him that "Mr Luv" sent you.) He'll get a kick out of that.
We're interested in this kind of recording and are not "pros", but not "novices" either. We actually had a student from the Art Institute of Seattle come into Tula's and record us live a few years ago. It was a lot of fun and good experience for the student.
I think your step-son would have a good experience with us. Good luck to him and you in the future. Thanks for the opportunity.
