First Take Economy Punk Jazz: First-take original jazz on cheap half-sized kids instruments, including that $8 egg-shaker at the Guitar Center counter. Too many notes.

Mixed & Mastered by James Luria Lewis in Santa Clarita & Van Nuys, Ca.

Approach:

Original (mostly) acoustic instrumental jazz, with Americana & Latiny flavors. Original & family oriented half-Mexican low-rider music. Nylon and steel string guitars, acoustic bass, piano, organ, violin, & percussion. Melodic and fun listening with classic jazz approaches to soloing, forms, and communication.

Open source concept. Simple chord charts are king and provide structure and mutual communication. Participating musicians memorize or read thru charts in real time, think dynamically, supplement, uphold rhythm & chord structures, solo, and melody where applicable. Participation is open according to these guidelines. Los Angeles based. Contact us.
