Les Racquet is a Brooklyn, NY based Jazz/Roots/Rock power trio with three-part vocal harmonies and technically expressive musicianship that piques the interest of learned musicians and mainstream listeners alike.

Conveying energy and vitality on stage by unleashing bursts of rock n’ roll improv around intimate vocal moments, Les Racquet demonstrate the versatile fluidity to move between classic and worldly genres while adding their own contemporary edge to each style. With a great respect for the diversity of individual tastes, Les Racquet prides itself on it's ability to entertain fans from all backgrounds.

“Brooklyn trio Les Racquet scoops up earnest indie-pop, frantic prog-rock, creamy doo-wop and jangly jazz in a wide net, pushing it all through a spiky guitar-driven sieve that blends the disparate elements without sanding off their edges. Despite pronouncing their name “less racket,” the trio kicks up a maelstrom - witness their angular assault on Dave Brubeck’s cool jazz standard “Take Five” - yet the melody always reigns supreme."
