The members are all renowned players and music educators working professionally, nationally and internationally, but when they got together for his project, they wanted to do something very different from the usual musical environment. In order to keep it “jammy”, they came up with a simple rule; the songs they play have to be composed on the day they are going to perform them. So that they sound fresh, they have a couple of hours to compose and learn the songs. Also, the songs will be different each time they play, simply because they don’t try to memorize the parts they play. Lots of music we listen to is completely pre-organized, although lots of jazz players do improvise solos.

Flavor LA decided to keep the loose vibe, and be very open about it with the audience, who discover the joy of listening to “jam” music. They usually perform at least one song where they will ask the audience for a key, and start jamming on the spot! Despite the spontaneity of this, the tunes they play all have cool, catchy lines, and a danceable groove. It’s not just music for musicians but is accessible to everyone.
