The Sonntag Jazz Collective, formerly The Sonntag Jazz Trio, was formed by Monadnock Region natives, and longtime collaborators, Logan Phillips (on Electric & Double Bass), Kevin Sonntag (on Alto Saxophone) and Kyle Trombley (on Piano) in 2023. It all came together after playing through standards in the Real Book one fall afternoon, and landing their first gig at a local restaurant in town. The rest, as they say, "is history."
The Sonntag Jazz Collective specializes in iconic jazz repertoire spanning from the 1920s to modern day. SJC honors the tradition of jazz by creating a sound that is both current and classic. With a mission to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of jazz, the SJC is committed to delivering high-quality, engaging performances to audiences across northern New England.
All founding members of the collective are proud products of the Keene State College Music Department, where they honed their craft and developed a deep musical sensibility. Together, their dedication and musicianship have quickly earned them recognition throughout southern New Hampshire, leading to regular engagements at restaurants, bars, private events, and community celebrations.
Today, the Sonntag Jazz Collective continue's to steadily build its presence across New England, captivating audiences with a unique blend of artistry, creative expression, and musical sensitivity. From an intimate café setting to elegant receptions, their performances effortlessly adapt to the occasion, delivering a jazz experience that is both timeless and alive.
