HistoryThe 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.
