From Sinatra to Sting, Java Groove is a small 4-piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music they play, they tell them, jazzy, swingy, ballady, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped-down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section.
