The Jazz Thieves are a group of jazz musicians from Brooklyn, NY. Their music “steals” elements from other different styles of music and brings them to jazz. Like true thieves, they improvise while sticking to a plan, and rely on a “certain set of skills” to help them make music. The band features the dynamic vocalist Matt Robbins, in addition to Ayumi Ishito on sax, Garrett Manley on guitar, Carter Bales on drums, and John Gray, the leader of The Jazz Thieves, on bass.

Pulling from the best of their favorite bands: the Ramones, Arctic Monkeys, and the Strokes, Cuervo Jones will be in your head long after the last cymbal crash and barre chord have faded out into the night.
