Jay Spectre

About Me

A style that swings from crackling funk, soul, and world rhythms, all overseen by a rock sensibility. Energizing and tight as a unit, bursting of global flavors and colors, an absolute treat for those who long for a musical canvas that includes dancing and having a good time.
