BELOW IS A LIVE RECORDING (UNEDITED) FROM MAXIMUM CHILL FACILITY "HOUSE CONCERT" OCT. 2007. BE SURE TO HIT PLAY/PAUSE ON THE CASSETTE!
Sinatra, Satchmo, Louis Jordan, Nat King Cole, Ellington, Miles, Herbie, Ray Charles, Burt Bacharach, Al Jarreau, Stevie, Sting, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Tower of Power, Prince, Al Green, Sam & Dave, E, W&F, The Beatles, Jamie Cullum, John Legend, I listen to many different styles of Music and take some from all the good stuff. I've become more and more interested in great studio production, however, i still enjoy an authentic sound or performance that is not overly produced.
Sounds Like
I've been told i sound like Al Jarreau, Harry Connick Jr, Van Morrison, and even Lou Rawls. The full-band sound is contemporary yet classic in it's delivery. It's strongly influenced by classic soul/r&b, pop/rock, and vocal jazz (including the blues & gospel), jazz/funk/latin and various singer/song-writers. The overall sound of the group changes depending on the players, whether we're playing acoustic or electric instruments. Most often during shows we pay tribute to (often incorporating fresh arrangements) Ray Charles, Dr. John, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Miles, B.Bacharach, Ellington, Satchmo, various jazz standards, Harry Connick Jr., Paul Simon, Sting, Van Morrison,The Beatles, Motown and song-writer collaborator friends and our originals!

I have been sending Science Project out and i was checking that you had recieved your a song from us, i have realised that some of you haven't got the email with the song on it. If you havent or i havent asked you if you would like a song, let me know your email address and ill send it over to you. Your support means everything to me have a great week
Thank you for taking the time to stop by! If you have the time would you call your local radio station and request Just One Of The Boys? Every call helps! Thank you so much! Much love Sasha Eleyce
