FSM Musicians

The musicians who perform with FSM are, in a phrase, "musician's musicians." We love to play, and take great pleasure in our versatility and musicality. These qualities of enthusiasm for the music itself synergistically combine to help make your own event a truly remarkable and memorable one filled with lively, original renderings of your favorite music. FSM members have played with such artists as Aretha Franklin, Arturo Sandoval, Artie Shaw, Dizzy Gillespie, Della Reese, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Donald Byrd, Lou Rawls, Marvin Gaye, Roberta Flack, Eartha Kitt, Vanessa Williams, The Four Tops, and The Temptations. They have also appeared in major Hollywood films (band scenes in Meet Joe Black); and have played at the White House, Carnegie Hall, and at many jazz and music festivals across the nation. Some of Full Spectrum's musicians have been featured on their own original recordings, and on others throughout their careers. We look forward to filling your event with these sounds and playing in person for you!
