Blending musical craftsmanship and inspired playing, The Down Unit is creating a niche all their own on the Denver music scene. Their high energy sound is a coalescence of influences ranging from 70's funk, fusion and soul to modern Jazz, electronic and Hip Hop sources. With a rhythm section comprised of guitar/guitar synth, vintage keyboards, bass, drums and a recently incorporated, tightly arranged, three-piece horn section, The Down Unit is capable of varied textures with a common goal in mind: groove. But that's not all. The Down Unit's compositions reveal a soulful melodicism and a harmonic sophistication that is rarely found on today's scene. Their dedication to improvisation and captivating, original songwriting creates a sound that is equally at home on the dance floor as it is in the lounge.
We are very excited about playing at such an awesome jazz club. We have some great sets lined up for you, so don't miss it. Friday and Saturday November 20th and 21st, 5:00-8:30p at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago
