Artist description i have different musicians i like to work, write and record with. nathan terry (drums and occassional co-writer) is the only steady one though. the two of us try to explore outside of what you expect to hear. and i don't mean you need a trained ear or need an aquired taste for it, i really don't. we think that all the good sounds haven't been found yet, hencly, we try to root out new ones. "good" sounds is the stresser there. i like the accoustic guitars in the recordings b/c you can really hear the chords and the idea i was going for. they also work just as rhythmically as they do harmonically. i suppose the music can be spoken of just as jazzy as it could folky, or rockish. frankly, i'm tired of hearing the all mighty standards being played the same over and over. and that doesn't mean i think i'm better than anyone, at playing that is. it just means that i think keeping the jazz tradition doesn't mean playing the same thing for 50 years. it actually means the exact opposite, creating new and moving foward. i honestly think that keeping the so called "traditions" is the fatal flaw that is found in jazz today. i aim to move away from that, and do new things. that's what this music is. plus, hell, it sounds good! enjoy it, that's what it's there for.

Music Style i try to write fresh intense jazz compositions

Musical Influences I'm really influenced by guys like brad mehldau, jason moran, greg osby, oliver messian, radiohead, pat metheny, andedvard grieg.

Similar Artists i don't even want to get into this. you decide.

Artist History i don't like to dwell on past accomplishments or whatever. if you really want to know what i've done, email me, we'll talk. i only care about what i'm going to do, not what i've already done.

Group Members we have a rotating cast. it's basically me, justin trout, doing all the writing and playing all the guitars and bass (unless otherwise noted.) and nathan terry on the primary skins.

Instruments guitars, bass, drums...whatever else belongs (it'll be noted by the song)

Additional Info i won't be in millville come august...i'll either be at berklee college of music in boston, university of the arts in philly, or the new school in the villiage.
