About Me

------Non-Static is a unique blend of the rich musical heritages of both New York City and New Orleans. Catchy yet complex, the band’s compositions feature captivating melodies, rock solid grooves, and intense improvisation supported by a deep harmonic sophistication. The result is a powerful sonic experience that undeniably moves your body and energizes your soul. Non-Static covers the gauntlet of fusion music, from bebop to hip-hop; creating a distinguished sound of their own in the process. ------Released in October 2007, the groups debut album Nuyorkleanians features bandleader Mitch Paone ..boards and Hammond B3, John Ellis (Charlie Hunter Trio) and Cheme Gastelum (Budos Band, Dap Kings) on saxes, Matty Williams (Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Coheed and Cambria) on bass, and drummers Eric Kalb (John Scofield, Greyboy All-Stars) and Simon Lott (Charlie Hunter Trio).
