Editorial Reviews
Timothy G. Beeman II, ESP Magazine
It would behoove the believers of modern jazz to lend a lucid ear to the genius that is Green Light.

Product Description
Instrumental trio Green Light is drummer Adam Snow, bassist Dustin Hofsess, and guitarist Kevin Gill. This is a band that is coming from many different places musically. As a result, the Green Light audience is made up of an interesting variety of people: jazzers and rockers, the folky and the funky, hippies and computer programmers, the drunk and the devout... Each of them finds something about Green Light's music that draws them into the swirling vortex of energy that this band creates.

The group draws from a deep well of influences. Some key points of departure are: the spirituality, intense energy, and exploratory improvisation of saxophone master John Coltrane; the raw blues-rock power, and psychedelic colors of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd; the funky rhythmic tension and down- home soul of the Meters and Sly & the Family Stone; the groundbreaking jazz/rock/funk fusion of Miles Davis; the beautiful reggae grooves of Bob Marley & the Wailers. As well as drawing inspiration from these relatively well known artists, Green Light infuses their music with sounds from all over the globe, including African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Cuban, and Brazilian musical elements.

Green Light music is powerful, raw, soulful, mysterious, spontaneous, positive and life-affirming. This is music made for people who long for originality and unadulterated creativity. To experience Green Light is to be taken on a consciousness-expanding trip

WHERE IZ IT????????????????????????????.......2007-02-17

I ORDERED THIS CD 2 MONTHS AGO. AFTER SEVERAL DELAY NOTIFICATIONS, NOW THE ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATES ARE 3/22-4/9. WHEN I GET IT, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

flows, goes, and blows my mind.......2005-09-27

very very melodic, the jams are eccentric in a good mellow, fasinating way that captivates you and almost holds you in the music not letting you turn it off or down. the musicianship is superb. i would most deffinantly recommend getting this cd if you are any fan of music at all, you will not be let down i promise. the three in the band know what they are doing and know how they are doing it. you will not get tired of them. the media reviews are not misleading at all latin, jazz, african, cuban, its all there in the music. music lovers beware... you may have just found your new favorite band
