THEIR UNIQUE BRAND OF “UNKNOWN GENRE” SCREAMS FOR MERCY FROM A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF POP, R&B, & MODERN JAZZ. THIS HIGH-ENERGY BAND SAFELY TRANSPORTS THE LISTENER TO UNCHARTED TERRITORY WITH POP, R&B, AND MODERN UNDERGROUND ELEMENTS FEATURING AN ALL-STAR CAST COMPRISED OF NEW ORLEANS’S PREMIER JAZZ AND FUTURE STYLES ARTISTS. THE SONGWRITING IS MATCHED WITH EXTENDED SOLOS AND IMPROVISATION. MILES DESCRIBES THE BAND AS, “JAZZ BUT NOT. THERE ARE SONGS AND IT’S FUN.
