WILD BLUE HERONS

Wild Blue Herons are a dynamic jazz and funk ensemble, fronted by the husband- and-wife team of Bill Sample and Darlene Cooper. Their sound embraces a “groove-centered approach reminiscent of The Crusaders, early fusion-era Blue Note recordings and the polished sophistication of Steely Dan” (Thierry de

Clemensat , Paris Move). Their 3rd album (released February 2026) got rave reviews.

“Infectiously entertaining, incredibly well played and sang, superbly arranged, It’s All About Love is such a precious record, a ray of sun for the rainy days and a postcard to everyone's soul. Bravi, Wild Blue Herons.” (Giovanni Pilato, Bluebird Reviews, UK)

They will be joined by Miles Hill on bass, Randall Stoll on drums, Steve Hilliam on

tenor and Brian Harding on trombone.
