Details:
Pocket Change is a seven-piece funk project based in Seattle, Washington. Modeled after the funk and jazz groups of the 70âs, P-Change has enjoyed great success as a band that can get audiences up and moving. Pocket Change has created a buzz due to their high level of musical talent, incredible stage energy, and deep groove.

The members of P-Change are all intensely focused jazz, funk, and fusion musicians who thrive on bringing their formal musical training and creative talent to the dance floor. Drummer Tarik Abouzied and bassist Jake Amster have developed the kind of pocket that funk and jazz audiences have come to know and love. Along with guitarist Cameron Peace and keyboardist Orlando Morales, they provide the support and energy that trumpeter Scott Morning, alto saxophonist Art Brown, and tenor saxophonist Jon Armstrong need behind virtuosic solos and fiery horn lines.

Pocket Change â âPocket Changeâ

Got funk? If youâre Pocket Change, a seven-man horn band consisting of former University of Washington music students, the answer is decidedly YES! These cats can wail with the best of them, JB horns and TOP included. If youâve missed them live, run donât walk to your computer and order their debut CD âPocket Changeâ from CD Baby.com.

Featuring a passel of original tunes, a squeaky tight rhythm section, and some of the best soloing around, âPocket Changeâ slams you through a crash course in hot, sweaty funk-mania. Tarik Abouziedâs solid drumming powers the rhythm section, ably assisted by guitarist Cameron Peace, keyboardist Orlando Morales, and bassist Jake Amster. Trumpeter Scott Morning and saxophonists Jon Armstrong and Art Brown blow hot, heavy horn parts that recall the best work by the Average White Band, Tower of Power and other 70s funk disciples.

On this first effort, Pocket Change makes a solid case for being worthy keepers of the jazz/funk legacy. Hereâs hoping they make it funky for many years to come! Recommended tracks: âDelugeâ, âIn My Officeâ, âTight Ropeâ and the dreamy cool down number, âTen Floors Down.â
