Hey all you guys and gals.

This summer I am moving back to my home town and I am starting up a small Jazz combo to do small gigs here and there, weddings, cocktail parties, stuff like that... We play mostly standards and a few originals as well. As of now, there is no singer.

I have wracked my brains thinking of a name, I have to make business cards and I need a name...

ANY IDEAS?

Thanks for the suggestions...

Adam

I was in a couple of jazz choirs in high school and at the competitions there were some hilarious names. it seemed like people took any work with an "azz" sound, and made it "jazz". the only one that comes to mind at the moment is razzmajazz.

This led me to decide one day i'll have a jazz combo called "orjazzm". i doubt i ever will, so if you want it, it's yours.

i fully expect someone to come on and say it's taken, but i've never seen a band with this name.......

Hehe, that random band generator is funny when you put dirty words in it. Like something that rhymes with mock.
