Echo Beach has performed throughout the Western U.S. since 1991.
Live, we play jazz standards by Mingus, Miles, Shorter, Oliver Nelson, Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays, and more. The group's sound travels the distance between the Latin jazz period of Cal Tjader to the guitar-led sound of Wes Montgomery in various settings, to more modern shadings from funk, pop and our original compositions (one original, "Delicate Creature" received a "Radio Quality" award in the Billboard Songwriting Contest).
Upcoming Live Shows in 2008:

. Cato's Ale House in Oakland on January 2nd
. Grant and Green in San Francisco on January 26th

Loved the Echo Beach demo!
author: MoCal's Pals is great and the CD is a real find.
It's a CD you find yourself humming to throughout the day!
author: Debi TaylorI recently purchased two copies of this CD. One I kept for myself and the other I gave to a drummer friend of mine for a Christmas present. He loved it and so do I. Echo Beach is catchy, funky and I find myself humming their songs throughout the day. When you wake up humming Cal's Pals, you know it's gonna be a good day!
Jazz Track of The Day
