Joey Baron has assembled several exciting ensembles over the past few years, but his latest group, Killer Joey, is one of his most compelling to date. Featuring guitarists Steve Cardenas and Brad Shepik and bassist Tony Scherr, Killer Joey performs Baron's rhythmically exuberant and richly textured compositions, integrating the buoyant swing of jazz with indomitable r&b and funk grooves, luminous tone poems, and a inventive improvisation with sensitivity and inventiveness. Says Baron; "This group is gifted in communicating the extraordinary emotional content I wish to convey. The band's timing is great, the music is rich and lush, and the playing is spectacular." The band's name says it all: the music is fueled by the masterful musicianship and charismatic presence of Joey Baron.
