Describing themselves as Soul Jazz for the 21st century, this Guitar, Bass, Percussion & Drum Quartet balances the funky directness of R & B against the subtle lyricism of traditional jazz. They create a rich and smooth feel of warm earthy tones filled with spiritual energy. The outcome produces and transcends the usual genre labels such as acid jazz, funk bop or progressive soul. Darien Scott Terry, Gome Sanchez and Don Daveed conduct Drum, Percussion and Bass duties skillfully and hopping between dense funk pockets and open ended swing grooves, while Guitarist Balisques' melodious harmonies flow gracefully. A true balancing act done with economic style as this uniquely full sounding quartet interweaves through various textures of ambiance with equal flare. Even as they stretch the limits of sound, their legendary nuances somehow stay rooted in their own blues / soulful laden jazz groove.

It’s an honest music that attempts not only to bridge the divisions within the music world, but touch those that exist within the human soul as well." Thank you for stopping by and be looking out for our soon not to be Idle Hands coming near you!
