Five professional musicians with some very different backgrounds and influences/focuses, Nation of Five started out as a one-night project purely for fun. We got together to play some jazz and fusion standards, miked everything up at Brian Fitzy's studio, and with the help of some friends, had the jam session videographed. That night is now on its way to being released as a record at the end of April 2012. Realizing the potential of the group, we shifted our sights and officially formed.
