Benefitting from years of unassuming and understated hipness, they bring forth a funky, lyrically charged racket that sits comfortably with soulful sounds the world over.Intricate but free-swinging, explosive yet intimate, fresh and green as grass.Taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest), the streets (and 45s) of New Orleans, touring African and Caribbean combos and the soul, funk & blues of his youth coupled with early, teeth-cutting experience in the verbal hotbeds of the coffeehouse scene, Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture.Tomorrow Sound are an elite crew of offhand adepts who bring plenty of their own wood to the fire.
