Jazz, R&B, Piano and vocals.... Described by many as the funkiest band in the city that has the funkiest musicians in the world, Jon Cleary and The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are the gem in the NOLA crown. A four piece riot of gospel harmonies and foundation rocking grooves - a southern soul band like no other. Running the full gamut from second line street beats to old school rhythm and blues, the party is propelled by Cleary's vocals and dazzling piano chops.
