Our "Seabreeze Rising Star" artists are a big part of the success of the Seabreeze Jazz Festival. These are the artists or bands breaking into the smooth jazz scene -- some may be obscure in name -- but packed with solid talent or proven Billboard Smooth Jazz #1 hit power. This is the case for THE JAZZ HOLDOUTS!
Truly meeting the definition of a SMOOTH JAZZ SUPER GROUP -- the Jazz Holdouts is known for their innovative ability to blend classic jazz elements with a modern twist,
The band is comprised of well-seasoned jazz musicians that have all been playing music from a very early age ---and ---the individual members have collectively performed on thousands of chart topping recordings - including some of the most "sold" albums of all time.
Collectively, members of Jazz Holdouts have appeared on recordings by Quincy Jones, David Foster, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bob James, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Chick Corea, Vanessa Williams, Rod Stewart, Jackson Browne, Natalie Cole, Boz Scaggs, Dave Koz, Daft Punk, Randy Newman, Stanley Clarke, Chris Botti, Linda Ronstadt, Grover Washington, Jr., Bryan Adams, Christina Aguilera, Julio Iglesias and many more.
Chart-topping Billboard Smooth Jazz hits include "Mary's Song", "Summer Nights", "Morning Breeze" and "Simple Things". To reach the top of the Billboard Smooth Jazz charts as a new obscure group is rare -- but these guys keep cranking out the hits!
Keep an ear out for their new single "Time to Play" - a catchy, melodic piece of music with a fresh sound -- currently moving up the charts and in current airplay on WSBZ-FM The Seabreeze 106.3.
Get ready for a great show and welcome one of our two Seabreeze Rising Star acts for 2026!
