Need a hot live show? Or do you just want to believe in music again? Then there’s only one logical choice: The Tommy Bradford band (T2b). This hot group of young urban talent is as diverse culturally and musically as any you’ll find. T2b’s roots span the scope of classic and contemporary jazz music, even touching on pop, rock and blues influences. T2b is much more than a jazz band. They’re the definition! Their appeal is truly universal, crossing class, culture and age boundaries. Staunch jazz aficionados love T2b’s repertoire from master composers such as Rogers & Hart, Antonio Carlos-Jobim, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, etc., while younger and more urban audiences admire T2b’s respect for composers like Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton.

The band’s innovative genre-melding original compositions are also a continuing surprise and delight to fans of all backgrounds. Whether classic jazz or a more contemporary sound is desired, we can tailor the performance to your audience's taste. Prior to T2b’s formation, each band member had become accomplished players in the Chicago music scene. These talented players include: Tommy Bradford (saxophones), Josh Thurston-Milgrom (bass), Jordan Baskin (piano) and Kobie Watkins (drums). All the band members have studied music academically as well as professionally as performers. With their years of academic study, training and late night jam session schooling, the T2B have developed a ferociousness often missed in music. Think of a jazz band with the intensity of a rock group. But these guys can play. Now you get it!

Their desire is to create passionate and innovative music through an exciting yet professional live experience, all while developing their unique sound into a consistently mesmerizing listening experience.
