WhaleHawk is a collective that features the show-stopping ability of Jacob Sanders! Mr. Sanders has singlehandedly stopped several of not only his own shows, but other’s as well. WhaleHawk is of the mind that music should contain dope beats, and contemplative progressions in the style of such artists as Chris Bowden, DJ Shadow, J-Dilla and Fat Jon.
Armed only with an 8-track and a bag of dreams, WhaleHawk is committed to broaden the musical horizons of all within earshot, while promoting the skills necessary to bum-rush and thusly rock a show. Mr. Sanders has production/arranging/composing/performing credits on over twenty different albums. Along with being thorough with the women he was also featured in DownBeat’s Student Music Awards issue for being the “Top College Jazz Soloist of 2002.”
WhaleHawk currently lives in NYC with his lovely wife and an itchy recording finger. He plays with several different bands at various spots all across the US. His music has been described as “mind-bending,” and “pretty-good.”
His latest release “The Big Band Theory” on Cuezone Records is touted as being “not bad.”

Why this name?
It was a name I thought of for Chronophonic's 2nd album "Footwork" and no one supported it. I liked the term so much I adopted it as a monniker and decided it was time for a project that allowed me to make/share music with a more diverse crowd. WhaleHawk is that project.
Do you play live?
Been throwin sound balls from Colorado to Puerto Rico. Played once in Atlantic City--had to take 7 showers after, stilll dirty. Currently staring at people in between solos in the New York area! Every moment we play music is special. 'crowd'---"Awwwwww."
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
You're here..aren't you.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
So how much money will they give me, and then how hard are they gonna dick me over to recoup all their lost profits? How deep into debt will I become, only to sign another contract and given a producer who couldn't record an Etch-a-Sketch? The answer is yes, with good representation and creative control of the intellectual property. Oh, and a harem of succulent concubines and a fridge full of Sunkist. Oooh, and one of those Snafu games, where you try to get the metal ball through all the obstacles. Actually, I think the answer would be no. No wait...yeah, no.
Band History:
You see boys and girls, when a man and a woman love each other very much something magical happens....They start by taking each other on series of 7-10 dates, all concluding with a gentle hug goodnight. Then on the eleventh date, the man takes off his blazer and hat, then convinces the woman that he just wants to 'rub her back' and there will be 'no funny stuff.' He applies copious amounts of any favorite lubricant and then slowly, ever so slowly he.....wait a minute...BAND history, wow, this is awkward.
Your influences?
Orchestrated and arranged saxophones, beat oriented productions hinging on unique progressions, large scale compositions, samples, Gil 'mutha f-*#in Evans!
