Modern jazz marked by inventive rhythmic interplay and a natural, melodic flow. It is music of considerable depth that nonetheless appeals to a wide range of audiences.
Bio / Background
The Willie August Project was founded in the late 1990s by guitarist-composer Ben Siems and percussionist Jeremy Hauer. Siems had recently returned to Minnesota after attending Brown University and spending several years on the Atlantic Coast as a solo blues/folk musician. Though fresh out of Music Tech College in Minneapolis, Hauer already had nearly five years of jazz gigging under his belt.
Drawing inspiration from the postbop jazz of the 1960s and from the airy, meditative jazz associated with Germany's ECM record label, Siems and Hauer have created a distinctive modern jazz sound that revolves around their naturally melodic musical instincts and remarkable sensitivity to each other's playing. Upright bassist Scot Hornick rounds out the trio's sound beautifully, laying down powerful grooves and subtly punctuating the quietly compelling spaces created by the two principals.
