The genre-defying Jonathan Scales Fourchestra imbues jazz with an unmatched attitude and charisma. Steel pan virtuoso Jonathan Scales, percussionist Phill Bronson, and bassist Cody Wright each bring their own great talent, working dexterously off of one another’s grooves. The resulting innovative contemporary jazz compositions appeal to intellectual sensibilities while keeping an infectious spirit of playfulness. They are currently touring in anticipation of the July 9 release of their new self-titled album, and will make a stop in Manhattan on May 24 at SubCulture.
