   About Take You Higher
Take You Higher is An eight-piece band assembled for their love of the multi-cultural message and homegrown rock/pop/funk that is undeniably Sly and The Family Stone. Good times are accompanied by solid harmonies, fat horns and a tight rhythm section that wont allow you to just sit down and take it. At a time when a message of hope and empowerment is needed Take You Higher delivers through the music of Sly Stone. Its one big Party and everyones invited.

Members of Take You Higher hooked up with The Original Family Stone recently in New England. We met and bonded with trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, saxophonist Jerry "Papa J" Martini and keyboardist, singer Rose Stone, who is Sly Stone's sister!

They said they were very proud of the work we are doing and to keep it going! Jerry said we were officially in "The Family". We all agreed to collaborate and perform together in the future and we had a great time taking pictures and talking about the music of Sly and The Family Stone.

"The Page Screams Out" is a new track that I available have for FREE download and distribution. Dig it.

This is what I like most about MySpace, whereas we are able to share our music with others and by-pass a host of vultures that are unappreciative of the art but anxiously eyeing a prize that the art will provide, at the cost of...well...I guess that's those who buy music.

Jekyll & Hyde Rock Musical Movie





May 20 2007 9:07 PM

Dear Friend,

We made a rock musical of the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde story, heavily inspired by THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with a few thousand dollars and a handful of very talented actors and artists. We had no big (or small) studio behind us and no rich uncle. We’re very proud of our little movie and grateful for the interest generated on Myspace. Many of you have asked where to purchase the DVD. Cut and paste the link below to receive a special low price for all our Myspace friends at our Amazon store.
Thanks!
