Chances are, unless you are locked onto the LA music scene or a frequent traveler aboard The Smooth Jazz Cruise, you will not, as yet, have discovered the triple delights of high octane ‘party band’ DW3.
Complemented by some of the best musicians around, DW3 (short for ‘Down With 3’) is led by Eric Mondragon, Billy Mondragon and Damon Reel. They specialize in sumptuously crafted covers of some of the best R & B hits of the last forty or so years but now, newly signed to Woodward Avenue Records and with a new CD scheduled for early in 2015, these long-time regulars at Spaghettini in Seal Beach, CA (and perennial centerpiece of the late night poolside parties that have become such a feature of smooth jazz cruising) are all set to step it up a notch.
