The
audience was always very enthusiastic
at every show because of the great quality
of the songs played, the musicians, and
the energy given off by the group. The
repertoire of Jet-Set is made
up exclusively of original Geoffroy Doyon
compositions. Spanning the jazz, Latin
jazz and jazz fusion styles, these songs
are textured, captivating and often require
a great deal of virtuosity from the musicians.
The group is in the same niche as Uzeb,
Dave Weckl Band, Michel Camilo
or Chick Corea.
The group members are all professional
musicians who frequently perform with
various jazz or pop groups and artists.
