"The group’s brand of high energy Psychedelic World
Jazz
casts an electrifying spell"
...Go
to Ultra World X-tet My Space
ULTRA WORLD X-TET performs an exotic, soulful and trippy fusion of East and West for the 21st Century. The band includes Saxophone and Bamboo Flutes, Bass, Percussion, Guzheng (Chinese Zither) and Electric Guitar. Based in San Francisco, the group’s brand of high energy Psychedelic World Jazz casts an electrifying spell. The band originated and developed their sound working a regular gig at a small jazz club in downtown San Francisco. Word of mouth from this gig led to other opportunities, including concerts at Herbst Theater, performances at S.F. City Hall, events for the S.F. Symphony, and other high profile performances. We have just released our first CD, MOON AND LEGEND which is starting to receive some airplay on Independent and College FM. The X-tet's performances are a colorful blend of Jazz, Chinese, Psychedelic, Funk, Blues, Latin, Middle Eastern and Ambient textures. This is a fresh, new San Francisco sound. Check it out!

Hip
Bones
"Hip
Bones are a rare treat for music lovers. The three piece outfit
delivers infectious, groove-oriented jazz that's akin to Medeski,
Martin & Wood, and their album, Threedom, is a wonderful collection
of well-written originals and well-chosen covers."
- Metro Beat
Audiences at San Francisco’s
Boom Boom Room, Charleston’s Pour House, Charlotte’s
Evening Muse and Atlanta’s Brandy House are wise to this
brew of instrumental funk with jazz overtones and dub attitude.

"Animal, vegetable, television. These are some of the basic
elements we use to create and inform our music, as well as 3 staples
of our daily diet. Given this Input, experience has shown that
our expected Output encompasses noise constructions, delicate
sustained melodic textures, and urban tribal improv."
