John Zappa on trumpet, Brad Myers on guitar, Aaron Jacobs on bass, and Jason Smart on drums.

An artful combination of Contemporary jazz with the rhythms of afrobeat and world-beat music, Now Hear This is electric, funky, and organic. The group is comprised of musicians with extensive professional experience, playing, the music of various styles including jazz greats Ignacio Berroa, Benny Golson, Tim Hagens, Fareed Haque, Charlie Hunter, Jeff Hamilton, Warren Vache, Don Braden, and local popular groups including Ray’s Music Exchange, The Blue Wisp Big Band, and Brasilia. The result is a well-balanced blend of the jazz tradition with the experimental elements requisite to find an original approach. The use of rhythms not typically associated with jazz or American dance provides their music with an exotic flavor while maintaining accessibility to audiences through its groovabilty.
