The group has performed an eclectic repertoire, from hard bop to classic jazz to show tunes, to funk, to rap, and original experimental works. In an early review of the band's first extended engagement in New York City in 1984, John S. Wilson of The New York Times wrote: Throughout the 1980s and 1990s the band toured in Britain, Europe, Istanbul, Canada and in the United States.
