- Jazz Urbane
The Jazz Urbane is a contemporary recording/performing collective which embraces and is infused with great R&B song-writing, melodies, band grooves and style. Not really a “New Movement”, just a new configuration of mindset/artistry. It is a “Collaborative Of Artists”, a music that crosses several bridges. This is music that has grown from urban places and thrives because of creative musicians who are tapped into the people, and into progressive, music- art that is urbane, hip and non-categorical. The Jazz Urbane represents too, the rise of frustration among musicians with “non-musical culture” dominating mainstream radio, music, media.
