Times 4 - Funk + Jazz Improvization
Times 4 is an excellent and tight funk/jazz group. Both tenor saxophonist Lincoln Adler and keyboardist Greg Sankovich are expert at setting danceable grooves . . . . The bass-drums team of Kevin Lofton and Maurice Miles is tight and the quartet often thinks as one. . . . [A] fine example of the funkier side of jazz." - Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
San Francisco-based contemporary jazz quartet Times 4 delivers lively, cohesive performances of their uptempo, funky originals. Delivering a fresh Bay Area blend of modern jazz with an urban flavor, Times 4 generates an artful and intense musical interplay that crackles between the musicians and soon leaps from the stage to connect performers and audience members.
Times 4 features Lincoln Adler (saxophone), Greg Sankovich (keyboards), Kevin Lofton (bass), and Maurice Miles (drums). Lofton and Miles are friends and musical collaborators since high school; likewise, Adler and Sankovich continue a musical dialogue that also dates back to their teens.
The members of Times 4 have, together and individually, traveled the world contributing their talents to a wide range of musical projects with many renowned artists.
Times 4 have developed and refined their sound over a four-year history that's included regular performances at clubs and festivals throughout the San Francisco area. Their first CD, Seductivity, continues to generate critical acclaim. Their second CD, Relations, is scheduled for a February 2007 release.
