This band is the collaboration of two of L.A.’s most promising Jazz/Funk/ R&B visionaries — Scott, 2005 N.A.A.C.P. Theatre Award-winning musical director, bassist/trumpeter/vocalist, a native of Baltimore, MD and multi-talented guitarist/lead vocalist Earl (Improm2, Stephanie Mills, BeBe Winans, Euge Groove) a Chicago son.
With their second CD under development (hopefully as a major release), they (with the addition of several Los Angeles area All-Stars) have established a sound that is sophisticated and funky! Their live stage shows have been described by the local jazz press as "… (jazz supergroup) ‘FourPlay’ on performance-enhancing substances."
The founders and regulars have played either collectively or individually with a “Who’s Who” of music’s past and present elite including:
Chico Debarge
Tina Turner
Zhane’s Renee Neufville
Natalie Cole
Vesta
Les Nubiannes
Deneice Williams
BeBe Winans
Stephanie Mills
Jonathan Butler
Jeff Majors
Cherelle
Brandy
Lauren Hill
Lalah Hathaway
The cutting edge blend of Jazz/Funk–call it Neo-Jazz, created by the most talked about band in L.A.
