Fusion Juice

About Me

What happens when you blend jazz, rock, fusion, funk and endless amounts of energy? You get a concoction of sound fused with a vibe that satisfies and quenches one’s thirst for original, cliché free jazz. Drink in….Fusion Juice."Fusion Juice” is comprised of some of Denver's finest musicians. This quintet delivers groove oriented jazz with an emphasis on smooth sultry guitar sounds. Playing original Contemporary Nu-Jazz, plus wonderful interpretations of classic jazz fusion hits, this group knows how to satisfy the soul. The Group formed in the fall of 2005 and within a couple of months was playing around the Denver, Colorado area. In 2007 they released their Debut CD, “First Taste”. The collection of songs gives insight into the bands many shades of influences. From classic rock, to 70’s era jazz, to a more contemporary feel, the band demonstrates a nice blend of melodic guitar along with the punch of a soulful sax. The band has developed a reputation for their high energy shows and great audience interaction. Fusion Juice has performed at nationally recognized jazz clubs Dazzle and Jazz@Jacks in Denver, as well as The Taste of Colorado, The Longmont Jazz festival, Smooth Jazz 104.3fm Sunset Jazz Series, and Concerts on the Green.Fusion Juice shows of note…~ First Friday at Jazz@Jacks, with Dotsero ~ Longmont Jazz Festival ~ Smooth Jazz 104.3 Sunset Jazz Series ~ Smooth Jazz Wine Down, Jazz@Jacks with Darren Rahn ~ KUVO Jazz Series at Dazzle ~ ABATA Memorial Day Music & Arts festival ~ Taste of Colorado~ simple-clean-layouts.com

Sounds Like: “To hear Fusion Juice 'live' is the difference between looking at a glossy pic of hot wings on the menu, and then dipping them in bleu cheese and savoring each bite. They bring 'em to life baby, and they taste great!”Kenny Cortesmorning host, Smooth Jazz 104.3 FM. Denver, CO.www.smoothjazzdenver.com
