"We have standard jazz big band instrumentation, but we do very little straight-ahead swing type stuff. Most of our music kinda fits more of a rock, or R&B or fusion type genre, and even melding in some classical elements as well. So, it's for people who like big band, but it expands beyond that." - John Dorhauer talking about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Players music styles.
