Exciting, intelligent, and fun, the Cats could swing any nightclub in the Golden Age of Jazz, yet they deliver a show that audiences connect with today.

Those that know jazz know they're good, those that don't just know they're fun.

Jack's Cats isn't a dance band. It's a listening band that's damn good to dance to.
