The band is a blend of diverse styles that creates the sounds of Jazz, Fusion, Funk, Blues and various other genres to create their own unique style. All members are able to show and express their skills through the music. The band released their first CD, "Souporsalad"(one word) under their own label “Mainstream Interactive Media.” An Asian music publishing Co/Label, MonkMonk also released 5000 copies of their CD in Feb 2000. That same year the band was named, “Top Instrumental contemporary jazz group” with the tune, “Island Holiday.” Double Forte has been performing in and around Chicago for the last 6 years. Their CD and performances have been received favorably and they have started their own following which they hope will grow for years to come. They are looking forward to their 2nd CD project in 2004.
