Details:
"Quest" is Brazz Tree's debut record-capturing the essence of the act's innovative sound and powerful live show. Inspired by traditional Eastern & Western compositions, the duo's musical vision is a fusing of guitarist Brad Hammonds' folk-inspired, percussive riff-based guitar lines coupled with traditional folk and fiddle tunes underneath Mazz's conscious lyrics which are sung with soulful originality.

The eclectic duo's influences are apparent on their outside collaborations, as well. Since dropping out of Juilliard after three years, Mazz has accompanied on stage and collaborated in the studio with the likes of, Kanye West, Moby, Jay-Z, Perry Farrell, Vernon Reid and DJ Logic.

In just a little over a year, Brazz Tree has built a strong New York fan base from their mesmerizing shows and etheric string sounds. Brazz Tree performs once a month at the Rockwood Music Hall and twice a month at the Listening Room at Caffe Vivaldi and has been added to their list of featured artists. They were selected to perform at the Atlantis Music Conference at Smiths Olde Bar in downtown Atlanta, GA, the Temecula Valley Film Festival, the 2005 NXNE Festival in Toronto, and Dewey Beach Music Festival in Dewey DE. They were also selected to perform as a featured band at the Skylark Festival.

Brazz Tree's most recent performance highlights include shows at the Asbury Film Festival, Makor, Tribeca Rock Club and the Knitting Factory.

"a sublime, surprising, bristling and hearty stew of Irish lyricism, daredevil jazz aerobatics and punk rock moxie.....both the elegance and the energy are off the chain. "
