Hi Lance,
You're right to say that the Jazz Defenders are a fine band, but I'm not which map you're looking at when you describe them as coming from "over the border". They are in fact based in Bristol, with several of the members being long-standing leading figures on the city's jazz scene.
I stand corrected. It was their association with the record label Haggis Records that caused me to make this erroneous assumption.
