Blue 7, a group of local jazz musicians, has been together since 2005 with the current core rhythm section consisting of Dave Webster on bass, Ron Masi on keyboard, John Mihalik on guitar, and Jeremy Maggs on drums. The horn section features Travis Thayer on tenor sax and Mark Lightner on trumpet. Henry White makes a soulful and bluesy contribution on harmonica. Other great musicians have sat in with the band for performances, including Peter Welker and Michael Whitwell (now deceased), both on trumpet, Bob Johns (also on trumpet), Stephen Tamborski on guitar, and Steve Della Maggiora (on just about anything!). Last, but perhaps most importantly, Blue 7 had the great fortune to be led by multi-instrumentalist Preston Bailey who, with his musicianship and teaching skills, brought the band to new heights.

The years of playing together have led to a skilled and tight band that brings to life the energy and groove of classic jazz based on the works of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Wes Montgomery, Herbie Hancock, and many others. The music, the energy, the vibe are uplifting and might just have you on your feet!
