The Escape Tones are Angela Vicente (voice/percussion), Chris Hackman (upright bass), and Keegan Anglim (guitar); they met while attending the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California. Each member brings a distinct musical voice to the trio while contributing to a polished and cohesive vibe. The untraditional instrumentation of the ensemble opens new avenues for expression, and allows more room for the music to breathe. The group brings a fresh perspective to the standard jazz repertoire in addition to presenting multifaceted original compositions. The trio manages to discover new harmonic territory without abandoning precedents set forth by jazz pioneers such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Duke Ellington.
What a lovely profile! Looks and sounds great. I see you have a gig tonight - can't make that, but please keep us informed of any other shows you play.
