Jazzmatic is the spirit and emotion of Jazz.  Their live shows are filled with the greatness

of jazz performances of Miles Davis, Jimmy Smith, John Coltrane and so many more.  This duo connects with it's audience

 with such drive that brings chills down your back.  You are embrassed with every style of music, pressed, molded, mixed and stirred in a way that only Jazzmatic could serve it. I must admit, I was told; "you have to see these guys, you'll get tired just watching the energy", "their grooves will make you get up and dance", and they were right. The arrangements of their original compositions are just as powerful as the jazz covers they eloquently translate for the crowds.

To watch such a performance is a gift from the jazz gods.  Will Culbreath plays that Hammond B-3, like no other, as if it is his last day on earth.  Yahannes Ford on Drums is like watching greats;

Max Roach, Louis Hayes and Buddy Rich united.  After the show, I met and shook the hands of this dynamic duo, as I did in past years with Miles Davis and John Coltrane.  Will and Yahannes were a joy to dialog with about this art form called Jazz. 

Im writing this testament for their website as a gift.  I am a jazz lover, writer for over 60 years, and father of five wonderful children from ages 18 to 42, whom by the way, all introduced me to Jazzmatic's music. It's very sad that the music industry may overlook this gem of jazz history called Jazzmatic.  I am truly convinced the world will see beyond the commercialization of todays jazz and notice artists such as this dynamic duo for the foundation it builds. Their style attracts all types of people and unites them under one roof.  I have been blessed, thank you, Jazzmatic.
