History
The Montecito Jazz Project began as a collaboration between Drummer Tom Ray and Bass Player Tom Towle in 2005. Soon Saxophonist Jeff Regan joined in and added blistering solos and Guitarist Mark Coffin showed up and brought his own guitar stylings, providing perfect complementary accompaniment and tasty soloing. The quartet then went into the studio and made recordings for demos. With every change of venue, the combo may feature a different set of gifted musicians, as Santa Barbara's Jazz Underground has a good-sized pool of talent.From time to time, other configurations of the group morph to form various sounds.
