Steamboat Springs — Lianne & The Jazzjets have their feet planted in vocal jazz standards, but the band has included a disclaimer in its name.

"We might jet from that to something else," said Neil Marchman, who plays guitar for the Steamboat Springs quartet.

He describes that "something else" as songs from Bonnie Raitt or Diana Krall, reggae tunes or bluesy rock 'n' roll.

The Jazzjets play cool, vocal jazz in a free show at 6 p.m. Sunday at Ghost Ranch Saloon. Lianne Mosser, who has been singing in Steamboat bands on and off since 1992, said she hopes the show will be the start of regular vocal jazz sets that have a diverse range of styles.

"I've been singing professionally in bands since I was 16 years old. It's sort of grown into this very creative outlet, and I've just never stopped," Mosser said. "Jazz and blues is my background, but I sing a lot with country bands and rock 'n' roll bands. I have a lot of different influences."

The Jazzjets put their own spin on contemporary songs, dipping into rock, alternative and R&B to find tunes that can adapt to a jazz feel.

"I think what we do is we'll hear a song, and because the vocals can work with a lot of the instrumentals, we just kind of get interested in a certain arrangement," Mosser said. "So there can be a song that's maybe as out there as Creed's 'With Arms Wide Open,' and you can recreate that with jazz, and it takes on a life of its own."

The group came together when Marchman and Mosser wanted to start a regular jazz gig fronted by a female singer. They recruited regular Steamboat band-hands Willie Samuelson and Dave Allen to round out the group on bass and drums.

"What happens in Steamboat with the local music scene is that everyone works together," Mosser said.
