RM: Intrin-x-ico:
RM: Intrin-x-ico is afro-Latin-bebop with a primal edge that appeals to your senses and enlighten your soul. A blend of raw afro-Caribbean rhythms with the settle and delicate melodies of the jazz vocabulary, Intrin-x-ico appeals to a higher level without losing the dance ability of their music. The group is very malleable to different styles and music variations within the genre-from Puerto Rican Bomba, to the always exciting Merengues, to the settle Afro-Son to the fire of a Rumba-Guaguanco. Along with different instrumental approaches to the group from the regular set up of piano, bass, tenor, guitar and percussion, it can add Othello Molineaux on steel drums, or Christian Howes on violin, or Jim Cooper on vibes without losing those basic primal grooves that will speak to the jazz and Latin flavored fan on you. Recently, Intrin-x-ico performed at the 2004 St. Lucia Jazz Festival featuring Christian Howes on the violin, Old Town School of Folk Music Afro-Folk Series, The Jazz Factory in Louisville Ky., The Speed Art Museum Jazz Series for 2004 in Louisville Ky. and in Nov 27, RM: Intrin-x-ico made its debut at The Kennedy Center, creating a lot of excitement in Washington DC.

" Saturday night percussionist Rolando Matias was at Pacchia with mighty tenor saxophonist Eddie Bayard, bassist Dean Hulett (playing strictly electric that night) and guitarist Chris Lougeay. As always, the crowd was really into the group and Bayard was in top form. They played Joe Henderson's "Recorda Me" and Miles Davis' "Freddie Freeloader" and then were joined by a certain trumpet player for Freddie Hubbard's "Red Clay", Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage" and others. You can hear this band Sunday from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Central State University as part of the Jazzamatazz monthly series co-sponsored by the Afro-American Museum."

"Saturday night the Intrinxico Latin Jazz Quartet, featuring saxophonist Randy Villars, had people on their feet and dancing to Latin versions of Coltrane's "Mr. P.C." and Herbie Hancock's "Canteloupe Island" and others. Guitarist Chris Lougeay, bassist Dean Hulett and percussionist/leader Rolando Matias joined in the fun."
