The Fly Guy Five are a contemporary ensemble known for their eclectic mix of jazz, funk, and Latin grooves, creating a sound that is as infectious as it is unique. The band's origin dates back to the early 2010s when a group of like-minded musicians found each other through a shared love for improvisation and a desire to push the boundaries of genre conventions. Their vibrant brass sections, coupled with a rhythm section that knows no bounds, has earned them a dedicated following across live music venues and jazz festivals.

With albums like "Con Bajo Fidelidad" and "Cantina Afternoon," The Fly Guy Five invites listeners into a sonic landscape that is both familiar and exhilarating. Their track "Stop That Train!" showcases their ability to blend classic jazz influences with a modern sensibility, resulting in a track that appeals to purists and newcomers alike. Their playfulness is on display in tunes such as "Rodeo Rookie" and "Merry-Go-Round-And-Round," which fuse whimsical themes with serious musicianship. Through their body of work, including "Day At The Fair" and "Hide and Sneak," they continue to experiment with tempo, timing, and texture, all the while maintaining their signature swagger and groove. The Fly Guy Five remain an evolving, dynamic force in the music scene, as evidenced by their nuanced exploration of mood in "Blue Zones" and the rhythmic complexities featured in "Time Lapsed" and "Precarioso."
