A warm, mellow sound has been this quartet’s hallmark since its start and has made it an audience favorite across the Mid-Atlantic District. Audiences from all over began asking for a CD. In 2004, Gentlemen’s Blend was able to meet those requests with some of our favorites.

Lead Jim Botelle and bass Tom Thawley brought a strong lead-bass unit that blended with tenor Jeff Liebknecht and baritone Al McEvoy to make for a unique, full sound. We thank the many coaches we’ve had the pleasure to work with and give a special tip of the hat to our late friend, coach and mentor, Freddie King, for beating us up all those nights in his basement. Those in the know will appreciate that Chelsea soon began staying for the entire session.

Like a fine cigar or the sip of a truly great bourbon, Gentlemen’s Blend is a smooth, warm mix that one can savor. We hope you enjoy your taste of Gentlemen’s Blend.
