    Deemed “South Florida’s first couple of the Great American Songbook,” vocalist Jill Switzer and multi-instrumentalist/composer Rich Switzer come by the title honestly. For almost thirty years, they’ve entertained audiences at high-end venues from Palm Beach to New York with an eclectic blend of standard and contemporary jazz. Their popular Morning Lounge with Jill and Rich radio show of eight years on Legends 100.3 FM showcased their special chemistry and unique talents as curators of music. Drummer/vocalist Cielo completes the Switzer Trio as he has for over twenty years.
