Jazzedelics

Jazzedelics is the brainchild of singer/percussionist Tony Jonesand guitarist Doug Perkins based on a simple premise: what if seminal rock giants of the 60s had written their songs in a jazz framework?

To bring this idea to life, they needed the talents of Adam Cohenon electric and upright bass (Ray Charles, David Benoit, Ernie Watts, Phil Upchurch, Gregg Karukas, Eric Marienthal, Tim Weisberg), Chris Smith on keyboards (Jefferson Starship, Supremes), David Anderson on drums (Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Stanley Clark, Chaka Khan, Eric Marienthal) and the vocal talents of Angela Carole Brown.

With music from Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Animals and others, Jazzedelics is a mash-up band that will excite audiences looking for something familiar but out of the ordinary.
