I have never before felt possessive about a band, but I am fiercely glad that Dugardz Hitsquad belongs to the legacy of musicians from Queens—fine tuned, his drums are resonant, and his handpicked bass guitarists, saxaphone players, pianists, and vocalists are some of the top musicians in New York City.
Their various backgrounds claim a broader musical turf than traditional jazz with the distinctive playing style and compositional voice that exceeds the smooth jazz camp.
This band allows us to overhear emotion the way it was meant to be heard. Nobody else today sounds quite like these musicians; and few indeed play any better. The synergy of this band has renewed my passion for singing.

There are these rare moments when musicians together touch something sweeter than they've ever found before...when their expression becomes easy and graceful as friendship or love. This is when they give us a glimpse of what we might be, of our best selves, and of an impossible world in which you give everything you have to others...this dream community...tantalizingly conjured, before fading away with the last notes. - Ian McEwan
LALA & DUGARDz HIT SQUAD
A Jazz Funk Soul Band
Dugardz Hitsquad performs throughout the Tri-State area. His sound is full and makes you groove to the backbeat. What else would you expect from professionals? If you are a lover of jazz, funk and soul music, look no further.
Featured in last summer's issue of Modern Drummer Magazine, Freddy Dugard’s passion and perseverance shows what it means to be a drummer who keeps the fire alive. It's his trademark. He states, “When you focus on something you enjoy for any length of time, you are propelled into a state of meditation. That’s the key element.”
