Who
we are

Take 5 is more than just a jazz band — we’re a swing ensemble with deep roots in American standards. From Frank Sinatra to Harry Connick Jr., from Nat King Cole to Louis Armstrong, we deliver the kind of music that makes people smile, sway, and dance.

Founded in Park City over 15 years ago, our band features some of Utah’s finest musicians:

  • John Lambert – Vocals*

  • Drew Frink – Bass*

  • Ari Ioannides – Drums and Percussion*

  • Scott Larrabee – Piano

  • John Flanders - Sax, Clarinet, and Flute*

  • Chris Hough - Guitar

The group flexes from a trio to a six-piece band, tailoring instrumentation for each event. Typical setups include vocals, bass, drums, piano, guitar, saxophone, and trumpet.
