B&G Ep. 066 - "Pushing The Envelope" - feat. Shmazz

This week on B&G we had on a group containing some of the most prolific instrumentalist in the state of Virginia. The lineup for Shmazz includes Jamiel Allen(Keys/Vocals), Willis Greenstreet(Guitar/Sax), Stimulator Jones(Bass/Back up Vocals), Chris O'Neal(Drums). 

What started as improv jam sessions on a livestream has grown into a few special tracks that aren't the typical sounds you hear from the Appalachian Region. With Jamiel and Willis leading the charge on the writing and compositions they have been "pushing the envelope" on what style of music has been coming from Roanoke, VA. These tracks with hints of Bobby Caldwell and Herbie Hancock being incorporated with ripping guitar and saxophone solos create a wondering coloration of harmonies and style. They mix perfectly with the full and funky basslines by Stimulator and impeccable pocket sitting drums with well articulated drum fills by Chris who doesn't miss a beat. You could say Shmazz is a shmuper group of shminstrumentalist!

This was an incredible season finale for us and we couldn't have been more impressed by the performances and relaxed yet in depth discussions about the development of the group and other topics relating to the culture and current state of the music industry right now. Thank you Shmazz.
