Nutty brings their signature "Jetsetter Jazz" to Campus JAX, seamlessly blending iconic classic rock with straight-ahead jazz, big band, Latin, lounge, and timeless film and TV themes. Their ingenious re-arrangements swing hard and defy expectations, making their shows a captivating mix of irreverent humor, sass, and spontaneity. With dark suits, skinny ties, and pocket squares, Nutty's retro vibe is unmistakable. But it's the music that truly seals the deal.
Picture an impossible fusion of rock and jazz that sounds as if it were always meant to be. Imagine Hendrix meeting Mancini, The Moody Blues crossing paths with Dave Brubeck, or The Police mingling with Dizzy Gillespie. Nutty makes it happen, mixing The Who with Miles Davis, Steppenwolf with John Coltrane, Bossa Nova with Black Sabbath, Van Halen with a Cha-Cha, Jethro Tull with the Mission Impossible theme, and Alice Cooper with "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" themes.
Don Heckman of the LA Times hails Nutty as "a one-of-a-kind band with a swinging, old-school Vegas swagger," while James Nadal from All About Jazz praises their "cunning approach with immediate appeal." LA Jazz Scene’s Scott Yanow adds, "The music is as memorable as it is unique."
Fronted by the swank Sonny Moon, Nutty takes audiences on a wild ride through a musical time machine, leaving both rock and jazz fans snapping their fingers and nodding their heads in delight. It’s classic rock, all jazzed up. There’s nothing else like it.
