Description

Drummer/Band leader "JAX DRUMZ" was 1/3 of Grammy-Nominated Producer/Organist/Composer Jeff Palmer's trio for years and was a featured Artist on the Jazz Legend's album "Mayhem" (2009). By joining forces with Fellow Utican/Bass Legend Johnny Enoch and Syracuse "Phenomenon" Deyquan Bowens (Keys), this unique Trio goes against the grain and adds elements outside of the traditional by combining the likes of Original tracks with Swing, Smooth, Acid, Latin, Brazilian, & Fusion Jazz, along with Quiet Storm & Neo-Soul. In their experience they've worked with Artists who has accumulated over 25 Grammy-Awards in the genres of Gospel, Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop & Funk. Artists Including: Kirk Franklin, Marvin Winans, Winton Marsalis, Shaun Martin (Producer), Richard Smallwood, and Karen Clark-Sheard. They've also worked with numerous Grammy-Nominees and winners of: American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, Dove Awards, BET Awards, and Stellar Awards.

When listening to this trio, you must be a lover of "all-around" good music, because their capable of going from Burt Bacharach to Erykah Badu in the blink of an eye (talking about being eclectic). For certain occasions (& an additional price) the trio upgrades to an Ensemble by adding a vocalist. Any event that requires the undisputed "Best of the Best" whether it be Weddings, Corporate events, Banquets, etc…, this is the perfect band to hire. You'll NEVER have to worry about ANYTHING when dealing with this band because they are "PROFESSIONAL" in every sense of the word: they are always punctual, easy to work with, & supremely reliable.
