You’ve heard this before but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face jaw dropping chops and passion to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude the power trio of electric bass (E’Lon JD) drums (Maison Guidry) and steel pans (Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz classical and progressive rock peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and festival stages across North America and Europe and tours of Africa Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are… even if just for a precious moment.
