Jazz – Rock – Funk – Jazz – Rock - Funk – Jazz – Rock
Just my type of music !!
Guerillasound are a trio of omnivorous genre modernists mixing jazz with rock, funk and whatever else they can deconstruct and then rebuild in the classic context of piano, double bass and drums. This makes every performance eclectic, as inspiration takes them from contemporary rock tunes to fragile acoustic ballads, from hard swinging bebop to biting funk backbeats.Featuring Nick Kaçal on double bass, Dave Ohm on drums and Grant Windsor on piano and rhodes, the members of Guerillasound created a trio that emphasises the art of the group. They love clean and acoustic but aren't afraid to be dirty and electric. They like emotion, but directed with intelligence.Or, to put it another, simpler way -Hip, melodic, groove orientated jazz blended with the deconstructed semiotics of rock, funk and other, more obscure styles...
Come and hear this wonderful mix of jazz – rock and funk
