JUNTO PHENIX: THE NAME MEANS "TO COME TOGETHER AND RECREATE": THE SOUND IS ONE: BUT IS MADE OF 3 DISTINCT ELEMENTS: "J DILL" AKA JUSTIN DILLARD ON KEYS BRINGS AN INTENSE MULTI-HARMONIC APPROACH UNDERLINED WITH A JAZZ SENSIBILITY: HE HAS AN UNINHIBITED COMPOSITIONAL STYLE: "SPOOK" AKA JUNIUS PAUL ON BASS IS A PREMIUM STUDY OF BEING IN [BUT NOT LIMITED TO] THE POCKET: MELODICALLY SUPPORTIVE ALL THE WHILE: GABRIEL WALLACE ON DRUMS IS THE CLASSIC X-FACTOR: PUSHING + PROBING + PRODDING UNTIL NEW TERRAIN IS REACHED:
THE BAND WAS FORMED IN 2002: A PREVIOUS [MUSICAL VIBRATIONS] BAND'S DISBANDMENT PAVED THE WAY FOR THIS COLLECTIVE TO FORM: SINCE THEN THE BAND HAS RECORDED TWO ALBUMS: THE FIRST, "ROUGH MIX", FROM 2002 WAS JUST THAT: VERY RAW, UNREFINED, AND "DEMO"-ISH: BUT NONETHELESS A SOLID OPENING EFFORT: RECENTLY JPX RECORDED "THE FOUR ONE ONE EP": IT'S DEFINITELY A MORE ACCURATE DOCUMENT OF WHAT JPX IS CAPABLE OF: STRONGER SONGS AND EVOLVED IMPROV: BUT STILL "HEAD-BOBBY".
HOWEVER IT'S WIDELY KNOWN THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO PLAY LIVE: HAVING THE ELEMENT OF HUMAN INTERACTION SEEMS TO BRING SOMETHING OUT OF THEM A STUDIO ENGINEER CAN'T: A LIVE JUNTO SHOW HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "AN EXPERIENCE", "LIFE CHANGING", "NONSTOP ENERGY", AND "PAINTING WITH INSTUMENTS": THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF WHAT'S IN STORE WHEN YOU CHECK THEM OUT:
