The Grand Marquis at Jazz on 39th every Thursday

Since tooting their first note as a band in May 1998, the members of the Grand Marquis haven't taken more than a week off in 11 years. Add in the four (soon to be five) albums and 175 gigs a year and that, dear friends, is the portrait of one hardworking band. Of course, anyone who has been to a Grand Marquis gig (which, by this point, is practically everyone in the metro) knows that few bands have more fun -- or produce more joy in an audience -- while onstage. The Grand Marquis also spreads the gospel of Basie and Big Joe outside of town, taking its jump-blues wagon to such towns as Omaha, St. Louis and Chicago. In other words, they're flush. "I think I love it now more than ever," says drummer Lisa McKenzie. "We've gotten to a point where we're like a family."
