ULTRA WORLD X-TET performs a joyful, exotic, soulful and elegant fusion of East and West for the 21st Century. The band instrumentation includes Saxophone, Bamboo Flutes, Bass, Percussion, and Guzheng (23 string Chinese Zither). The Guzheng and Chinese Bamboo flutes bring a rich history of over 2000 years to the overall sound which is modern and adventurous. The X-tet's unique brand of "San Francisco World Jazz" casts an electrifying spell.

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."
