"Breath taking electric jazz/funk"

"Jazz for the rave generation"

"An eclectic update on the more cerebral music that emerged from the 1970's"

"Old school tunes with a contemporary twist, the sonic circle being made complete"

"A super sonic stew that really gets the blood flowing"

"Fortified with funk and an undercurrent of articulated syncopation that is somewhat reminiscent of the early days of Chicago."

"The horn section functions together like a modern dance club version of the JBs, nailing tasty riffs into place over the rhythm section"

"Nowell's electro-acoustic creations skirt normal jazz conventions while fully adhering to the core philosophy of jazz as an all-absorbing, ever-evolving entity."

This group has grown and developed at The 55 Bar in NYC for the past 5 years featuring some of the most progressive and adventuresome musicians in the world and is now reaching out internationally with shows in Istanbul and beyond....
