After more than a decade, this North Carolina band formerly called The Jumpstarts is still cooking up a deliciously original blend of great music. Based in traditional 1950s style Jamaican ska and reggae, the group stirs in a heavy helping of jazz with a sampling of gospel and blues. Seasoned with soul and a dash of funk, this concoction really simmers. Like an old family recipe passed along from one generation to the next, the dish of a band only gets better with time. Any good saucier knows that the longer it sits, the better it gets. If you are hungry for good music, you will definitely want to open your palette with a light first course offering; the 1996 EP release Just a Little Bit , and then move on to the full length In The Here (2000). Now available is the new 2007 entree' platter, The World To Me ; at http://cdbaby.com/cd/timsmithbandKey to this tasty cornucopia is composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and band leader Tim Smith who brings to the table a world of experience with other bands and musicians including:The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Mambo Crew, The SoulSearchers(http://www.Soulsearchersmusic.com/), Europa Jazz,Hobex, J'Azure, Sol Creech Band (http://www.solcreechband.com/), BlueStreak, The Countdown Quartet, The Platinum Heavyweights, Jazz Squad, The Raleigh Jazz Orchestra (http://www.raleighjazz.com/), Justin Thompson, and many more.
