Preview 4 full tracks from the new Julien Kasper Band CD in the audio player on the right.

Julien and his band have just released their third album, Trance Groove,, which showcases Julien’s strongest playing and writing to date. The textures, grooves, and sounds are rooted in blues/rock and funk while interplay of the musicians, vivid harmony, chromatic sensibility, and intertwining themes reveal high level jazz players displaying a rare marriage of virtuosity and musicality. The album features a guest appearance by Hammond B3 organist T Lavitz (of the Dixie Dregs, Widespread Panic, and Jazz is Dead).
