The music is groundbreaking in its ability to bridge the gap that is often caused by the label of “jazz”. The band can make an audience move and groove while also seamlessly satisfying the keen ear of the educated listener through an amalgamation of hard-hitting jazz, funk, and soul.

Inner Circle is more than the debut release from Miami-based guitarist Zach Larmer. It’s a theory put into practice. The title was inspired by Kurt Vonnegut, who in a commencement speech once spoke of the necessity for synthetic extended families in today’s world. In solidarity with this concept, Zach has crafted an audio letter of gratitude for the community he has built around himself. His inner circle is a tight group of musicians who have inspired the guitarist to live out this social politic through music.
