The music of YAVAZ explodes with a fire and passion that is unsurpassed! YAVAZ has a Latinized Jazz sound all their own. From familiar favorites to their compelling originals, they deliver an exciting performance that appeals to everyone from six to sixty. Since their debut in 1993,  YAVAZ has shared the stage with such greats as Joe Sample, Michael Franks, Rick Braun, Tim Weisberg,  Everett Harp and Stanley Turrentine.

These upbeat musicians have fun with the audience while at the same time producing a tight, professional sound. Their charismatic personalities are the key that captures their audiences during a live performance.  Whether it's a club, convention, concert or private party, YAVAZ's high-energy entertainment gets the audience into the music, dancing, fun and excitement that brings them to their feet.  

Their self-written "Sea of Cortez" CD which features Jaime Valle, Tommy Aros, Bruce Cameron and Bill Shreeve just to name a few,  invites abandon and calls for a party right in your living room. Performing at Croce's Jazz Bar in San Diego's Gas Lamp District, one of the most traveled to tourists areas in the U.S., has given YAVAZ a unique national exposure.  People from all over the U.S. and abroad that stop in to hear the band, inevitably buy a CD and take it back home.  Carlos Duarte, a Tijuana radio personality said "I've never seen anything like it. When I play a song from their album, I get flooded with calls...my listeners can't get enough of them."
