Large Posterior, Contemporary Jazz, R&B

Large Posterior is a collective of young up-and-coming Toronto jazz musicians who focus on making groove based music while leaving space for interactive improvisation. Large Posterior always consists of different musicians – so no performance ever had the same lineup. Large posterior’s repertoire could be labeled but not defined as modern and contemporary jazz fused with elements of more mainstream genres such as hip-hop and R&B. Large posterior draws an audience’s attention through catchy grooves and keeps their attention through the unique improvisatory solos of each musician in the band. The groups sound is influenced by artists such as Braxton Cook, Butcher Brown, Marquis Hill, Geri Allen, and Herbie Hancock among many others. Along with playing arrangements of tunes by artists that inspire the group, all the musicians in the group compose and contribute original compositions to the repertoire.
