Toss Hendrix, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Prince and Parliament-Funkadelic into a musical blender, and you might end up with the mind-altering Funk/Jazz purveyed by guitarist A.J. Love. He's jammed with Buddy Miles and learned about musical independence from Hanah Jon Taylor, who plays sax in his band. Love and Taylor can make their instruments howl in multiple languages.
Energy, obviously, is never a problem. 'Every show is different, and every show is designed to be played as if it might be the last show we ever get to do,' says Love. 'We give 100 percent passion and commitment.'' ---Isthmus Newspaper, Madison WI
A.J. Love's album, 'Interplanetary Funk', is available exclusively from Angel Magic Music.
