"The Quintessential Sounds Of Jazz"

Every once in a while a group of musical individuals come along that seems to mezmerize it's audience. Enter "Q jazz", The latest musical monster trio who is practically taking the Washington, Maryland and Virginia area by storm with their high-energetic, hybrid style of funk-jazz. Combining an eclectic array of styles from classical 70’s soul and r&b to jazz, Latin funk, gospel and rock, Buckwheat Jones is considered one of the new pioneers of the re-emergence of musicians from
an era gone by but never forgotten.

Coming from various musical beginnings, this Maryland-based band has had the luxury of holding audience to some of the most talented musicians in the United States as they came through town. Being exposed to many the musical styles along with some formal training, hours of playing 45’s and Lp’s and just plain “wood shedding around the tri-states with other bands and musicians, played a vital part in the funky, musical melting pot that has come to be a trademark sound of the group.

Formed in 2007, "Q" was formed by drummer Uriel "Rhythm Child" Carney, bassist William “Preach” Woodson . The duo was later joined by keyboardist Rodney "Kid Prodigy" Kelly and quickly began to craft their sound.

Evident is the response that is given wherever they perform. Not restrained by what defines a jazz band, "Q" takes it's listeners on a musical journey with a mixture of Classic sounds like Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis to the new sounds of artist such as Fourplay and Erykah Badu, "Q" in their short two-year history, has quickly developed a strong following from those who are true music lovers.
