Audio Birds experimental world sound… or ‘Now’ music hatched by combining the deep groove and melodic flight of James Simonson’s fretless bass,  with the dynamic and jet-fueled backdrop of Larry Fratangelo’s percussion along with Sean Blackman’s global “In Transit” acoustic guitar style. Together they create a refined encounter with rapid transitions and distinct melodies, while still remaining highly improvised.
 
This intense, all instrumental Detroit-based trio’s fresh sound combines elements of world music, jazz, jam, funk, rock & soul.  Their influences range from Parliament/Funkadelic, Paco de Lucia, and The Police to Fela Kuti, Chic Corea, Antonio Carlos Jobim and anything in-between.  The Audio Birds keep their listeners on the edge of their seats!
