“New 1224 Project album due out in October!”
1224 Project performs electrifying, groove-fuelled contemporary jazz.
If you like artists like Medeski, Martin and Wood, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Chris Potter, Bill Frisell or Wayne Krantz then we hope you’ll enjoy our take on music that grooves, with enough surprises to keep it interesting for everyone.
Oh, and just in case you’re wondering it’s pronounced “twelve twenty-four”, and the
Project is named after a front door in New Orleans (see slideshow).
