In every configuration, from solo, duo or trio, on up to 6 pieces or more, we come with a broad palette of jazz "colours", always authentic, smooth, soulful & professionally presented... Whether it's The Steven Charles Band, Duo, Trio, or even solol.,

I play tenor, alto, soprano saxes, sometimes even a saxello, a lot of flute, occasionally an alto flute, sing a bit, shake things percussive, and of course my trusty WX-5 wind synth, for those all-important dueling guitar solos, groove organ grinds, tasty harp, & even some steel drums for just the right touch.....

We've played gigs in all kinds of venues: The Ga. Dome, Blaisdell Arena , Aloha Stadium, Lahaina Civic Center, & The Crater Festival, in Hi., Taste of Atlanta, Charlotte Jazz Festival, Atlanta Jazz Festival, Centennial Olympic Park, De Kalb County Jazz & Blues Festival, Earth Day Festival, Boulder, Co., Kingfest at the MLK Center, The Georgia Aquarium, etc, countless clubs & restaurants: At My Place, Nucleus Nuance, Palamino Club, Carlos & Charley's, LA, Nicholas Nickolas, Black Orchid, Row Bar, Honolulu, Blue Max, Longhi's, Maui, & others in Chicago, Portland, Boulder, SF, & even the O.C., 5-star hotels, country clubs, to backyards, living rooms, beach parks, or playing to whales out at sea...

Opened shows for Chicago, Bob James, McCoy Tyner, Joe Sample, Wayne Shorter, Alex Bugnon, Warren Hill, The Pointer Sisters, Manhattans, etc., etc...

While mainly working in the genre of "Jazz", I've been all over the musical map, from concerts & recordings with Space Music artist Jonn Serrie, to performing &/or jamming with so many great artists, from Otis Rush & Junior Wells, to Stephen Stills, Mick Fleetwood, the Neville Bros., Indigo Girls, Elvin Bishop, and even playing one magical night in Lahaina, Maui, with Dr. Lonnie Smith, George Benson, & Marvin Gaye, all onstage & jamming...

And for those occasions when a band is too much, and canned music not classy enough, The Steven Charles Duo (or even solo) is the perfect complement to any business or social get-together. With a synergistic blend of "virtual supporting musicians" plus the live energy & sounds of Steven & guitarist Reginald Ward, you'll have a high-quality & full-sounding musical presentation, without requiring as much space or cost as a larger combo.
