The Joe Mailhot Jazz Unit features the music of composer/guitarist Joe Mailhot, with flautist Nancy Curtis, Craig Hoyer on keyboards, bassist Erich Hahn, and Steve Bentley on drums. The JMJU draws from styles ranging among modern jazz, funk, soul, free and psychedelic. Joe Mailhot's original compositions are inspired by jazz masters like Coltrane, Coleman, Davis, Ayler and The Art Ensemble of Chicago as well as by modern European composers like Penderecki, Crumb, and Stravinsky. Come and travel to musical soundscapes bombastic, tender, wild, beautiful, brilliant, and dark. It's not about the music but where the music takes you.
