   About The Primeridian
the primeridian, a hip-hop based, power duo consisting of Jaime Roundtree (tree tha scarecrow) and Simeon Viltz (see-me-on) hail from the eclectic, historical music scene of Chicago. With musical influences from blues and R&B, to house and acid jazz, the primeridian fuses these influences into a soulful, jazzy, acid-funk sound independent of musical genres and classification pushing hip-hop to new levels of exposure, experimentation and expressions. With thought-provoking lyrics, a touch of humor, skilled production and musicianship and years of explosive live performances, the primeridian takes a stage by storm with energy, emotion and experience moving crowds of diverse audiences (young and old)! Both artists bring a unique background to the primeridian's music. tree is a native of Chicago's west-side working class community submerged in the socioeconomic trials of urban life. Beyond the simplicity of simple rhyme schemes in everyday hip-hop, tree has a passion for language and continuously research ways to communicate his rhymes in a manner that is innovative and genuine. An old soul griot, he intricately weaves words into poetic lyrics skillfully revealing the tales of the city and the struggles of oppressed people. "My goal is to relay a perspective of life through musical poetry that will appeal to all open minds. Using words and sounds I want to take the audience to an experience that is new and honest," he affirms. tree thus maintain Chicago's down home country feel but keeps the "gritty edge." On the other end of the spectrum, see-me-on AKA V, a native of Chicago's southeast Hyde Park area, represents the 'the soul' of primeridian. Born to a family of gospel and jazz artists, V was 'raised in music.' His work centers on the search for spiritual alignment and growth of character amidst the mayhem of urban madness. With metaphysical imagery and cultural hsitory, V takes the audience on a soul filled "mental ride." "I encourage the audience to read between the lines and not just look at the face value of things. I want to lead them to a space of original thought . . . with spirituality that is collective in essence but objectively different." states V. Disciplined, educated artists who work extensivley with youth, both tree and V have studied and performed with numerous artists of various genres. The primeridian have opened for a number of artists including the legendary Run DMC, Redman, Common, Ludacris, Talib Kweli and many others. They have also performed and toured within the United States and Europe. In 2001, Promihjay 8, Inc. released the album "I'll Meet You In Greenwich" . . . on November 8th, 2005, their next album on the All Natural label "Da AllNighta" was released. While recording their yet to be released album "the morning after," the primeridian integrated longtime friend and High Noon collaborator Race from PCP/Highruallahs/The Late Show into the group. Race states, "Our music is what we are about. It is made up of the things we speak about day to day. It is our life, our dreams, our fantasies, our goals, our beliefs, our failures, and our demons. We not only aspire to give you music to shake that thang to, but also create a masterpiece that can advise you, give you knowledge, something you can learn from. The Music is the Message."

Judging solely form the instrumentation of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, it would be tempting, though misleading, to look to the New Orleans's famous brass-band tradition as the group's inspiration. In fact, the musical lineage of Hypnotic's members stems from the rich, progressive jazz scene cultivated in Chicago during the 1960s and '70s. The seven brass players in the group are all sons of the esteemed jazz trumpeter Phil Cohran, a former member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, but perhaps best known as a founding member of the seminal Chicago-based jazz collective the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).

The members of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble were steeped in this musical influence from early on and have been playing music together their entire lives. After performing in a youth ensemble put together by their father, in the 1980s, the band officially formed as the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble in 1999, and relocated to New York in 2005.

The band embraces AACM's collective approach to music making.
While Hypnotic's music is a far cry from the free-wheeling, party atmosphere surrounding New Orleans brass bands, the group strives to make its musical roots speak to and for its own generation, infusing imaginative jazz arrangements with a hip
