The Spontaneous Architects was started in the spirit of the nu-jazz movement, which weaves modern beats and styles into the fabric of improvisational jazz. The ensemble is comprised of strong soloists that all play with a great deal of passion and energy that creates an exciting, engaging experience for the audience. Original music composed by saxophonist John Vaillancourt, a veteran performer who has recorded dozens of CDs as a sideman and leader and has played at jazz festivals and clubs throughout the Northeast. The compositions range from deep funk grooves to world jazz beats, and they're based on interesting yet accessible harmonic structures. The combination of the trumpet, sax, and acoustic bass evoke the classic jazz quintet sound of the hard bop era, yet the band's sound is entirely modern and fresh. Enjoy nu-jazz sounds from the farm.
