Recently (Fall of 2007), I began playing with a group that I'm really excited about. It's a project started by trumpeter/drummer/keyboardist/composer Gene V. Baker (http://www.virb.com/genevbaker)
The music is aptly summed up by the band's name: R&B Freejazz Gospel Supreme 80. And the musicians are wonderful players.
I'm looking forward to playing the shows that the group has coming up. Come check us out. Seeing a 7 piece horn section with two bass players, two guitars, steelpan, a couple of keyboards, maybe two drummers and various parties doubling on vocals, is a can't-miss kind of opportunity.
