 | | The band performs high-energy jazz -- "smooth, but definitely with an edge." Those are the words of Tom Borino, who, along with brother Greg, formed the core of today's TNT band 25 years ago. |
 | | TNT Jazz Band concerts have been well-received at local clubs and on the college circuit, and now the group is in the studio cutting their second CD, Heavy Vibes. |
 | | Most of the band's set is original, reflecting their own brand of contemporary jazz that's "a little more intriguing, a little more fast-paced," says saxophonist Tom Sansone, and it's "definitely not background music." Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Pat Metheny are among the group's jazz, funk and rock influences. |
