Artist description The Mueller Group is a 4-piece instrumental jazz/rock group based out of Chicago's western suburbs. It is difficult to catagorize the MG's music. From acoustic improvised folk-jazz, through latin-flavored grooves, to searing electric blues, the MG draws upon a wealth of 20th century influences and blends them into their own instrumental mix. Two things remain consistent: the compositions are infectious and the improvisation is HOT!!

Music Style Jazz-fusion/Instrumental

Musical Influences Pat Metheny, The Allman Brothers, Acoustic Alchemy,

Similar Artists smooth jazz meets the Allman Brothers

Artist History Phil Mueller, the bands primary composer has been writing music for over 20 years, but the group itself did not start to form until the early 90's when Mueller and bassist Jim Bennett-Elias met guitarist Terry Golob and found kindred spirits. What started as duo and trio projects (mainly guitars and bass) has grown into a quartet with two guitars, bass and percussion. In 1996, the band released their first CD, RECORDED LIVE AT BISTRO AMERICA, to popular acclaim. After countless gigs and some personnel changes, they recently released a studio album entitled "Mueller Group" which is available on Amazon .com
