VertigoJazzProject's Profile

About me:Vertigo Jazz Project has taken the roots of Jazz and carried it into the new era of music. Their unique approach transcends the labeling of "genres"; it needs to be heard, it needs to be experienced. VJP attempts to redefine the listener's notion of what 'jazz' is. The 'V' in VJP could also stand for versatile. With their first official CD release imminent, and at the end of a tremendously successful year of performing all around the Asheville area, the sky is the limit for VJP. Only a year since VJP became a band and still in the band's infancy, VJP has already had successful performances at venues such as Emerald Lounge, The Rocket Club, BOBO Gallery, LEX Fest, Asheville Rejects Film Festival, and The Tertian Center for the Arts Boone, NC. VJP has upcoming performances at Stella Blue, Blue Bar in Charlotte, NC, Boone Saloon, Rocket Club, Emerald Lounge, and others. No small feet in the competitive Asheville music scene.

VJP and its members have shared the stage and/or performed as a special guest with countless national acts of note, as well as heavy hitting regional acts in the South East. Including but not limited to; members of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Afromotive, members of Josh Phillips Folk Festival, Umphrey's Mcgee, members of Toubab Krewe, Kevin Harris of Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Asheville Horns, members of The Michael Buble' Band (Jacob Rodriguez and Justin Ray), members of The Spam Allstars, members of The Big 'ol Nasty Getdown, members Laura Reed and Deep Pocket, Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon, Abigail Washburn, Sharon Gilcrest (bass player for Tony Rice and Peter Rowan), George Porter Jr., Mama's Cookin, and many more. VJP is currently booking for Spring '09 to solidify its position as one of the regions most sought after and enjoyable acts to listen to.
