"SLIPPERS" are an instrumental, funk-jazz sextet from Long Beach, CA. They are currently in their first decade of performing and recording as a group. Original members include… Mike Cody (guitars, flute, soprano sax, percussion), Brandon Laws (drums, cymbals, percussion), Blake Peterson (electric bass, emcee) and Victor Zahn (Rhodes electric piano, organ, synthesizer, melodica). Brian Beeken (saxophones, flute, clarinet, percussion), has been with the group since 2002. New member Bryan Watson (trumpet, flugelhorn, percussion), has rounded out the lineup in 2005 and solidified the "Slippers" sound. The individual members bring a wide diversity of musical backgrounds, styles and influences to the band and give a collective dynamic that lets them blend and experiment with new/classic sounds and textures. "SLIPPERS MUSIC" is tight, funky and fresh. Heavy grooves based on interlocking rhythms and razor-sharp changes push the music forward. Solid deep bass, strong melodies and hooks counter open-ended solos letting the compositions expand and intensify. "SLIPPERS LIVE" is where you get the true picture and feeling of what "Slippers" is and does. Built from years of rehearsals and refinements, the music reaches for an extra element of tightness at performances. Adaptable to many situations, "Slippers" have appeared at many different venues. Nightclubs to afternoon galleries, backyards to festivals, under and above ground. The group awaits the experiences of their second decade of " Slippers Music".
