"Doppler Shift struts 'n' slams heavy funk...the sax-trumpet combination cry madly alluring melodies...'Physics' is one hell of a romp, the aural equivalent of a triple cappucino on ice on an 85 degree day."

Formed in May of 2004, Doppler Shift is an experimental jazz-funk-rock band comprised of drums, bass, tenor saxophone, and trumpet. Inspired by groups such as the John Zorn Masada Quartet and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, and fueled by James Brown, Ornette Coleman, Helmet, Medeski Martin and Wood, Doppler Shift has no chording instruments by choice, giving the listener a transparent groove to move your ass to. Jazz sure as shit ain't dead - it's just been waiting. Besides - hasn't everything with guitars already been done?
Since putting together their first album masterpiece, "Physics" (October 2005), Doppler Shift has been receiving critical acclaim. Listen to a sample of some of the many tracks off our 1st release, "Physics" and make sure to purchase a copy, which can be made through messaging Doppler Shift here on myspace or directly through CDBaby
With junglebop/freespazz drummer Dave Marsalek of SPIZM / Trioizm & The Chicago Junglebop Syndicate onboard, who knows what sonic limits this modern experimental funkjazz quartet will conquer? Doppler's also fully integrated trumpeter Brian Niebuhr's implementation of an electric pickup & effects. The horn not only goes to 11 but through the roof!
Doppler Shift has been devoting the past several months to organizing new material & arrangements for our upcoming & highly anticipated 2nd full length release RESISTOR, which will be officially released & available sat June 14th 08 thru Chicago's IZM RECORDS [the home of JUNGLEBOP & FREESPAZZ]. A Chicago CD release party is kicking-off @ LILLYS on 2515 n lincoln ave to promote RESISTOR. Doppler Shift plays at 11pm with special guests galore! Area shows & midwest touring are all in the works for Summer-Fall 08. Keep posted! RESISTOR will be available for purchase directly thru myspace.com, CDbaby.net & everywhere for online download mid-late June 08
