Why We Like It

The trio's paths first converged years ago through jazz musician Ed Alisauskas, whose efforts to connect local talent led to the formation of the Jazz Shepherds ensemble.
Goodman has continued to carry forward the Jazz Shepherds philosophy, frequently collaborating with Hovan and Henry.
The group has performed at many notable local and regional venues, including The Bop Stop, Blu Jazz, Con Alma, and Cliff Bells.
