John’s first solo album, “Uptown Jazz-Funk” is almost ready for release!
Blending the styles of acid jazz, blues, and a little New Orleans style funk for good measure, this recording reflects many of John’s biggest influences, while displaying thoughtful and evocative compositions.
“These tunes really reflect who I am as a person.” says John. “ In the past, I tended to try and force myself to write songs that fit into what I thought I should sound like. With this project, I just wrote what I heard. The end result is a pretty accurate picture of me at this stage of my life.”
“Uptown Jazz-Funk” features Max Murphy on tenor sax, Mike Kenney on keyboards, Andy Milne and Dave Hall on bass, and Geoff Hicks on the drums.
