Jazz In the Corner started as a guitar and saxophone duo featuring Todd Lien and Brad Benefield. Whether performing at restaurants, private parties, or corporate events, we invariably found ourselves, well... in a corner. After constantly being referred to as "Those Jazz Guys In the Corner", we decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Although we still work as a duo sometimes, we are now regularly joined by drummer Dave Sanders and pianist\vocalist Charlotte Carruthers, as well as the occasional drop-in guest artist.
