About Jupiter Jazz:
"The St. Louis ensemble Jupiter Jazz offers one of the more intriguing and experimental musical blends on the contemporary scene, blending rap and spoken word inserts with funk, fusion and jazz-based instrumentals. The results are something that truly doesn’t sound remotely like anything you’ll hear on either the traditional acoustic music front or the established hip-hop scene. " -The Nashville City Paper
"Hey Jupiter: With apologies to our musical friends in Hair, this is the dawning of the age of Jupiter. Ju-pi-ter! Jupiter Jazz performs its own fusion of live hip-hop and spoken-word poetry. JJ has played with B.B. King, the Black Crowes, the Wallflowers, 4th Avenue Jones and Robert Randolph, so it's shocking that this is the group's very first CD." -The Riverfront Times
"Jupiter Jazz fuses elements and eras. Blending the point-beat vocals of modern hip-hop, improvisational instrumentals of classic 1920s jazz, funkadelic drum breakdowns of the 1970s, and the poetic phrases of spoken word segments, the St. Louis-based musical ensemble experiments with the forces of today's music scene. And its musical aims are launching this underground hip-hop group into a relatively unexplored harmonic sphere." -The Daily Iowan
