Photo Flash: The JAZZMATICS Perform at The Canyon Club

The JAZZMATICS, a new contemporary jazz and R&B band, performed in public for the first time on April 22 at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California. Individually, the group's members have accompanied such stars as Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Tower of Power, Santana, George Benson, Elton John, Kelly Clarkson, Bette Midler, Michael Jackson, and many more. Now they are coming together as The JAZZMATICS to create a blend of jazz, pop and funk.

"These are some of the best musicians on the planet," said promoter JoAnn Kepler of Los Angeles-based SJN Concerts, who formed The JAZZMATICS with her husband and partner, Allen Kepler. "It is a musicians' and fans' paradise of convergence."

"The idea morphed into creating a ‘super band' that could tour across the U.S., perform at festivals, and we even plan to record an album in the near future," added Allen Kepler, a nationally syndicated radio host and owner of The Smooth Jazz Network®. "There is no contemporary jazz/R&B band like The JAZZMATICS. Seldom do you go to a concert and hear such musicianship from everyone on the stage, in every song they perform."
