Johnny B Quartet
We are a group of three 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old. We play mostly covers of popular jazz songs, but we also have cool funky originals. The band is based in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The members are:
Johnny Brunetto - Sax
James Brush - Guitar
Brad Merryfield - Bass
Dan Geffs - Drums
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started playing together roughly in July 2006. Smooth sailing.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live in the Windsor-Essex area.
Your musical influences
Our influences include: Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, Rush, Coheed and Cambria, Chiodos, Victor Wooten, The Fall of Troy, etc.
What equipment do you use?
Johnny B uses Yamaha saxophones and AKG mikes. Our drummer, Dan, uses a crap set because he doesn't have a job, but he has a great collection of cymbals that consists mostly of Zildjian K-Custom and Sabian Paragon brands. The guitarist, Jim, uses an Epi Les Paul Custom guitar, a Traynor amp and a Fender 50's Bassmaster Cab. Our bassist, Brad, uses a Benavente bass and a Warwick amp rig.
