Urban Jazz Session is an artists' collective bringing the evolutionary and soul sounds of urban jazz to inspire creativity, evolve jazz as a cultural art form and means of communication, and preserve our cultural heritage in music. We compose and perform original urban jazz compositions using the voices of our daily lives, in the language of jazz.
Artists experienced in the tradition of delivering music to any environment. From conversation, to dining, to dancing.

Jazz is originally from the United States of America, and is an original folk music form, predating the recording industry, who did not create a single jazz musician (think about this, and what it means for up-and-coming musicians!). Jazz music, as it's called today, comes from a rich tradition of hard working musicians, listeners and learners of music, whose original musical compositions are now called 'standards'.
This is Urban Jazz, born of a generation of genius children whose influences are also the products of influences of influences, whose voices are the voices of urban life - synthesizer, sampler, turntable - cojoined with those more traditional, matured voices - saxophone, flute, trumpet - plus the pulse of instruments whose voices have changed over time (piano, bass and drums, acoustic and electronic)...not acid jazz; the voices are all free to express themselves as part of the Genius, weaving tales and transporting the senses to the heights of creation...this is Urban Jazz, further the proud tradition of music composers around the world, representing U.S.
(formerly Kelly's Heroes)Urban Jazz Session
We started with the Urban Jazz Listening and Ensemble Performance Workshop at the Fox and Goose Pub in downtown Saramento in 2001 and composed over 50 original urban jazz compositions while forming a band from the collection of artists who populated the Workshop, in the tradition of Mingus, Ellington, Blakey, and others who continue to pass on our heritage as true messengers of the Art.
Now, three years later, we are joyfully continuing our efforts to honor our musical forbearers by building on our cultural heritage in music, composing, performing and recording quality original music, and contributing to the evolution of Jazz.Have you performed in front of an audience?All we do is play live, because sound is alive. We host an Urban Jazz Workshop for artists and musicians to perform and display their craft in a workshop setting. It's a community vibe. Is it cool? 7:30pm til 1am on a Wednesday night in a state capitol? You tell us if it's cool. We book parties and art shows that desire a little funk in their jazz, and we also crash parties (we show up at your door and ask, "Does this party need a band?" because we love to get the party started.
Many different heads hit up the Workshop, and we put on good shows. Period.
Your musical influences
Charles Mingus, McCoy Tyner, the JBs, Jaco Pastorius, King Crimson, Guided By Voices, 4 Hero, Art Blakey, D Styles, Tortoise, Tenacious D, Harley White, Clark Goodloe, Duke Ellington, Eric Kleven and local Sacramento artists...more to come as the guys update the page...What equipment do you use?
K digs his Nord Electro synthesizer, Subtle believes that SWR best represents the bass voice in amplification.Anything else?
"Remember the jazz. Stay blue."
