ABOUT

This is an original, start up band going for a very retro, AOR sound with lots of cool musical twists and Jazz-oriented concepts. The founder is renowned Smooth Jazz guitarist, Jay Soto. He has performed or recorded with the likes of Craig Chaquico, Jeff Lorber, Everette Harp, Jeffrey Osborne, Eric Darius and many more. With three solo album releases and a major #2 radio hit, "Slammin'", Jay's going back to his roots steeped in Album Rock, Progressive Rock and Fusion with that familiar AOR sound that seemed to blend Rock, Jazz elements, R&B, Blues and Funk together in a melodic and tasteful way.
