N-Side"s style is what he refers to as "reflective poetry" backed with smooth and up tempo free jazz grooves. His trio consist of veteran jazz artist Si Perkoff, piano Peter Magadini, Drums and Kash Killion, bass. The N-Side sound creates a voice in the tradition of one of his favorite poets Langston Hughes, accompanied with a love of jazz in the background. Lyrical styles influenced by Gil-Scott Heron, Langston Hughes, Kamau Da"aood and the list goes on. The N-side sound was also built on the philosophy that" The best place to find a good pair of hands is to look down at the end of your arms". With that in mind, and hard work, he brings you a beautiful example of the symbiotic relationship between poetry and jazz music.
