Jaspects

Here's an interesting six piece jazz/hip hop band out of Atlanta you should check out. I became a fan of this band with their 2007 release "Double Consciousness".

Being born during the hip-hop movement, Jaspects integrates their youthful skill to progress music and build a bridge between musical genres in ways parallel to Earth, Wind, and Fire, Tony Toni Tone, and The Roots. Formally trained jazz students at the illustrious Morehouse College, Jaspects’ goal is to produce an exhaustive musical experience that involves TRUE freedom of expression via musical and lyrical creativity.



The band consists of pianist/music director T. Brown, bassist Jon-Christopher Sowells, drummer Henry "HC3" Conerway, III, tenor saxophonist Dwayne "Spacey" Dugger, alto saxophonist Stagolee, and trumpeter James E. King.

They're new release is entitled "The Polkadotted Stripe". I haven't heard it yet but I'm sure it will be interesting. Check them out when you get a chance at www.myspace.com/jaspects
