  • Jason and the G-Men was a Christian swing/jazz, band from Minnesota founded in 1991 by Jason Harms, Greg Seeger, Rick McKinley and Rick Corliss. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music refers to them as possibly "Christian music's answer to Harry Connick Jr." Their music was often compared to that of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, or Gene Krupa. As these comparisons indicate their music was more connected with traditional, 1940s style swing than swing revival bands such as The Brian Setzer Orchestra, although their primary period of activity was linked to the latter. Within Christian music their act was relatively unique; according to one reviewer they compared only to a few tracks produced by Carman. Their albums featured reworked hymns, jazz standards and some original songs. They opened for The Winans in 1992 and recorded a self-titled cassette only demo in the former studios of KTIS. In 1993 they appeared at the Gospel Music Association's Music in the Rockies New Artists Showcase. True Tunes News gave them favorable reviews playing at Cornerstone in 1993. "G" as in Men was recorded live in concert in 1996 at Heritage Christian Center in Aurora, Colorado and MPR Studio "M" in St. Paul, Minnesota. Similarly, their 1999 release Swing Hard, Swing Often was recorded live. Jason and the G-Men disbanded in 2000, but Jason Harms continues to record with his brother Jesse Harms in a group called the “Jason Harms Quartet
