We were all jamming and watching TV." Guy continues, "We were rehearsing and learning tunes every Tuesday. When got our first gig in Jan. 2009, the name the Coolin' System came about through a Jack McDuff album called the Heatin' System featuring one of the first tunes we learned 'The Prophet.'" Fast forward to 2011 and the group has staged several sold-out shows, as well as opened for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and performed the Head Jamz Music Festival in Adams, TN. The band has also been highlighted on BBC's Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show. "Jam-packed with classic soul-jazz compositions like "Sunshine Alley" from Stanley Turrentine's Sugar and Yusef Lateef's "Nubian Lady," The Coolin' System is a master class in the art of smooth and the craft of soul." -Sean L.
