Jets Make Comeback With New Generation

Jets Make Comeback With New Generation



ORLANDO, Fla. (Wireless Flash) – Not much has been heard from the 1980s era group The Jets but the band that gave the world “Crush On You” and “You Got It All” is back again – sort of. The new group, Jetts17, is made up of the teenage siblings of the original members, plus three cousins. Original Jet Leroy Wolfgramm manages the new group and makes sure the young’uns learn from the experiences of the earlier band. For instance, unlike the old Jets, the new band writes its own material – a mix of a modern sound with Hawaiian and reggae influences. However, the new group will do a medley of the old Jets hits. Leroy is confident Jetts17 will be a success and predicts a musical dynasty because, as he points out, the original Jets have kids old enough to be in the band.
