The NYC based band epitomizes new jazz at its best, and has performed countless concerts in US and Europe over the years developing a body of music that stands out with its originality. Pulsating post bop lines, unusual harmonies, the art of silence meshed with free jazz outbursts, unusual grooves and deep lyricism are to be found in the group’s music.

ELEVATION benefits immensely from Mr. Burton’s mastery and incredible sound & concept, Mr. Ban’s pianistic expertise and strange Eastern European influences, from Mr. Brad Jones’ visionary bass playing and from the unparalleled rhythmic innovations of Mr. Derrek Phillips. The group has “ to be seen & heard” to get the full picture.
