JAZZADELIC is a funky jazz outfit drawn from a variety of local players. We specialize in instrumental funk and groove by artists such as Maceo Parker, Herbie Hancock, the Meters and Booker T. Our aim is to jam out on some nice grooves and inspire you to dance!

THE INSTRUMENTALS are an all star cast of friends of mine from the local ska scene. We play vintage instrumental ska and reggae by the original ska bands of Jamaica like the Skatalites, Joe Gibbs and Jackie Mittoo. We have also encorporated some jazz standards and surprise pop tunes so come check us out!

Here's what the Globe said about us during Jazzadelic's residency at the Midway Cafe in JP:

A Little Bit of This a Little Bit of That

"We're huge advocates of the unstructured life, which, besides all its stress-relieving qualities, fits perfectly with our disorderly mind-set. Sometimes we like not knowing what to expect, as with the Midway Groove Thang free-form funk jam at the Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain. The blend of rock, funk and jazz creates a soundscape described as whatever springs into being, which sounds fine to us." 03/08/04
