The Modern Operative, back from hiatus to play some sweet tunes. We've been on holiday, but we're back and ready to make some music for you all, as we know how, with the sound of a small big band. Guesting with us will be Jay Jerome, with the mature sound of his originals uniting with the Modern Operative's wall of sonic goodness. There will jazz, there will be soul, there will be music to feed the spirit.
