Akashic Record is the funk brainchild of drummer Tom Arey and hammond organ whiz Beau Sasser formerly of the perennial Boston band , Uncle Sammy. The group began as a trio, utilizing the guitar work and composition skills of Roman Zeitlin(Zap Mama). They quickly gained national notoriety with a performance at the 2003 New Orleans Jazz Fest. Morphing into a quintet lineup in 2004, the group solidified with frontman Brian Thomas on trombone, Timo Shanko on tenor sax and Johnny Trauma on guitar.Playing consistently in the Northeast, their floor shakin' live show continues to thrill capacity crowds night after night. With a focus on original compositions and interactive improvisation they have gone on to share the stage with legends Steely Dan, Michael MacDonald, Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire. Special guests have included Darryl McDaniels(Run DMC), Melvin Sparks, Tom Sholz(Boston), Sam Kininger (Soulive), Jarrett Cordes(PM Dawn), John Ellis (Charlie Hunter Trio), Gordon Beedle (Jimmy Smith)and Fareed Haque(Garaj Mahal).
Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul...it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.
