Todd Clouser (A Love Electric, Ropeadope Sur) unites with saxophonist Warren Walker (Kandinsky Effect) and drummer JT Bates (Motion Poets, Craig Taborn) to form a groove heavy trio performing a collection of original music and arrangements of artists from Rage Against the Machine to Motown. “We want to make the dance music of the future, and it to be jazz”, says Clouser, continuing “jazz was born as a dance music, and we want to take it back to its home.” While the format may be a nod to the great Paul Motian trios, the music is decidedly rooted in funk.
Clouser has been called “a fascinating musician” by NPR while the Philadelphia Inquirer references the legends in Clouser’s playing saying, “A gem… Clouser spices the All American vibe of Bill Frisell with some Jimi Hendrix fire.”
