The Atlanta Jazz Festival gets underway this weekend. The annual event is one of the country's largest free jazz festivals. Among the featured is Atlanta-based band, The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra. Trumeter Russell Gunn leads the group. 

He stopped by On Second Thought to talk about the band's latest album, Get It How You Live and the group's natural mashup of traditional jazz, rhythm and blues and southern hip-hop. 

Russell Gunn from The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra speaks about the band's unique sounds.

The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra performs Sunday at Piedmont Park on the Meadow Stage at 9 p.m.
