Formed by visionary drummer/percussionist, Gary “Big Dog†Stanionis, Elements is quickly becoming one of the "HOTTEST" contemporary Jazz bands on the scene today.
Elements is made up of some of the “Hottest†musicians in California. Elements has created a style and sound that is all their own. Fusing Traditional Jazz, R&B, Latin and Brazilian Rhythms to Funk and the heart of American music, Soul. From their "smooth as silk" rhythm section to their "tight punchy" horn section Elements is sure to get you moving!
Gary’s debut album with Elements is called “Takin’ it Back†and was released in the summer 08’. It was Gary’s debut as Producer and Elements debut album as a band. You can Purchase “Taking it Back†by clicking the link below.
