NEO Project

  • Serendipity 950 Danby Road Ithaca, NY, 14850 United States (map)

NEO Project is a professional seven piece, high energy dance band rooted in funky R&B grooves, afro cuban/caribbean rhythms & jazzy, bluesy soul. Its members are music professors, a former Motown sideman and soul practitioners with years of experience.

NEO Project reinterprets some of the best soul jazz funk music out there with their own unique twist, always giving the listener a powerful dose of deep pocket grooves supporting soulful melodies & blazing improvisation. This band rocks hard as they weave irresistible rhythms around spontaneous expressions of R&B, Afro-Cuban & world beat syncopations. Blending Eddie Harris's "Freedom Jazz Dance" with the Pointer Sisters rendition of "Yes We Can Can" until it is difficult to imagine the two as separate creations. And they do it all on their toes as they shape & re-shape their arrangements on the fly vibing off of their audiences energy.
