Their inspiration soon took shape as a reliably creative vehicle for Kat's lyrics to be expressed through Nate's music. They have performed monthly at The Iridium in New York City as well as several other venues. Kat and Nate have created a distinct sound by exploring the unique blend of the trombone and voice. The similar range and crystal timbre of both allow for either to take the lead while the other compliments, or for the two of them to launch into fiery harmonized bebop lines. Their original songs are lyrical and reminiscent of the jazz standards, while their take on standards such as Old Devil Moon have brought audiences to their feet.
