| The Ya'Man (yeah man) Jazz Syndicate is a group of musicians that have performed traditional jazz in the Phoenix area since 2000. Members of the Syndicate have variously studied music at the University of Idaho, Arizona State University and Witchita State University, with over 30 years of combined experience writing and performing jazz. The YaMan Jazz Syndicate has two basic formats; the large and small. The large group specializes in swing music, appropriate for functions where dancing is called for. Dance lessons can also be arranged as you desire. The small group plays strait ahead jazz that one might expect to hear at a jazz club. Repertoire consists of Jazz standards and classics from the heyday of popular jazz. The small group is excellent for wedding receptions or similar social gatherings where background music and light entertainment is desired.
