    FILE UNDER::avant-electro-jazz. Wanna compare? Welll.....okay: Jazzanova meets John Zorn meets the Cinematic Orchestra meets the Christian McBride Band meets your mama. No, this isn’t for everyone, but for those that it is for, they will want no more. No words, all music (which consequently creates infinite words from an alien language that sounds strangely familiar) Mature. Like a fine wine. This is the late night hang, the post-party, party-in-a-box that takes you from the darkest hours to the promise of a new day. Oh say....can you see? Or better yet....can you hear? It’s all there – thumping upright acoustic bass, skat-a-tat-tat drummer who is two steps ahead (or is it behind?) of all time, keyboards and horns. Oh, it’s a jazz band, but wait, it’s a DJ spinning magic. You know the deal in 2008 everything is real. This one sweeps and swoons, leaving you dancing under the moon. But don’t sleep, every step is a new adventure, excitement lurks behind every beat. Isn’t that neat?
