With the rock solid foundation of Pajamas (bass) and the "brontosaurus sized backbeat" of Sean Mason (drums); Preston Cate (guitar) and Justin W. Powell (keyboards) are free to explore the many combinations of colors that are used to improvise and compose VJP's unique sound. With an improvisational approach, as well as frequent guest soloists, VJP plays a new show, every show.
Vertigo Jazz Project is known for their compositions and performances through the jazz idiom. But people often ask “Is this Jazz?” VJP has taken on the task of bridging the gap b/w multiple genres of music such as Jazz, Funk, Latin, Rock, Jam, Avant, Classical, World, Country, but always maintaining a distinctively recognizable element of jazz. VJP takes their varied experience and creates original compositions of their easily recognizable form of music; paying homage to the aforementioned styles, with heavy emphasis on the jazz, soul jazz and world elements. A journalist once said of VJP, “I never knew jazz could make me feel this alive, this free and this sweaty!” (Jason Bugg, Moutain Xpress)
