Welcome to the Jazz Quorum site for jazz fans of all ages! 

Our flagship group, Steve Johnson's Jazz Legacy Quintet is one of Los Angeles' hottest mainstream jazz aggregations.  Here's what Myrna Daniels wrote in LA Jazz Scene in the January 2012 issue:  "This was a solid group of musicians who played with so much spirit and integrity.  For big jazz fans the music was great.  For those out for a fun night the music helped promote jazz as more than just background music".  

We have an extensive repertoire of Strazzeri compositions, along with other great tunes by the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and other luminaries.  We feature a set lineup of seasoned professionals including Carl Randall on Tenor Sax, Serge Kasimov on Piano, Chris Haller on Bass, Mel Lee on Drums and myself, Steve Johnson on Trombone.  Our fantastic CD, The Sands Of Time, features nine Strazzeri originals, and is the only release that is exclusively Strazzeri titles.  We have been appearing monthly on Fridays at Jax Bar and Grill, 339 N. Brand Blvd. in Glendale, as well as at many other venues around town.  Check the Calendar for all the details, and come hear live jazz as it is meant to be experienced.  Enjoy our Videos, listen to Music streams, and get your free download of Hip Pocket.  Peruse the News while you plan to see us play and consider purchasing our CD from CD Baby or iTunes.  Scroll up to use the email registry (at the top of the page) to get on our mailing list with ease and complete confidentiality.  We'd love to stay in touch!  Those wishing to book the band can do so using the Contact information.  Learn about our impressive careers by clicking on the Bio.  We'd love to play for you, and will work to "spread the word" for public events and venues.
