These Miami based luminaries perform original arrangements in a dizzying array of styles - including classic jazz, mambo, lush  ballads,

cha-cha-cha, bebop, madcap swing,  and a few off-the-beaten path

songs from the 1960’s and ’70’s.  Add to the mix the instruments

they collectively double on - woodwinds, piano, guitar, trumpet,  and percussion - Mad Romance presents a show that is truly electrifying.
