AriSawkaDoria (ASD) was brought together on the bandstand a little over a year ago by legendary Santana drummer Michael Shrieve in Seattle, Washington. Composed of Drum n Bass pioneer Kevin Sawka (you may know from Siamese), young guitar virtuoso Ari Joshua Zucker (from NYC and Seattle), and Hammond B3 purist Joe Doria (the driving force behind Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet), ASD are sure to impress aficionados of every genre.

An extremely fresh and original fusion of old school and new school, ASD's music mixes true Organ Jazz and Grooves (a la Medeski, Martin & Wood) with Electronica & Drum n Bass with the spirit and energy of such Northwest pioneers as Hendrix, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and SoundGarden.

Members of ASD have played / recorded / performed live with such artists as Michael Shrieve (Santana), Amon Tobin, New Monsoon, The Living Daylights, Robert Walters 20th, Andy Summers (The Police), Taarka, Wynton Marsalis, Dave Liebman, Rashied Ali, Reggie Watts (Maktub/Soulive), Bill Frisell, Skerik, ST7, Crack Sabbath, Benevento / Russo (duo), Shanti Groove, Siamese, The Motet, Om Trio, Ulu, Reggie Workman, Kenny Barron, Wayne Krantz, PKE meter, Signal Path, SwampDweller, Dose, Wayne Horivitz, and more...
