The North Coast Jazz Project,
Appleton, WI
The concept of North Coast Jazz Project was the idea of Dr. Mark Moore (drummer extrordinaire). Mark wanted to create an group, separate from the sounds of the Geriatric Jazz Group, that would explore jazz of the 60's and 70's - funk beats, bebop sounds, some Wes Montgomery, and fun songs from entirely different genres. The group continues to perform at special public and private events. Mark has since moved to Berlin so the lineup and venues are changing to incorporate local music educators as well as selected physicians with deviant musical talents and tendancies. The normal line-up for this group is as a quartet of guitar, bass, drums, and trombone. The picture above is from one of our first gigs and features additional local artists from Green Bay on saxaphone and piano.
