Grafitti initiated and led by bandleader, producer, Norweigen keyboardist Haakon Graf who heard Chambers and Grainger at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 1988… The group is a quartet, which features top notch veterans, and a newby on music scene today. Santana’s and original P-Funk drummer Dennis Chambers, bassist Gary Grainger (John Scofield), extremely versatile and talented young French guitarist U-Nam, and the man behind it all keyboardist “Haakon Graf”, who is referred to as the white “Herbie Hancock” will be performing some of the best Jazz fusion on this planet. Their music is a perfect blend of Funk, Jazz, Nu-Jazz, and Latin, and " Graf behind the keys is worth the ticket price alone". They will be performing at venues such as Yoshis in Oakland, Jazz Alley in Seattle, Kuumbwas in Santa Cruz, Baked Potato in Los Angeles, Marquee 15 in Corona, and Cohibas in Long Beach among others. The re-release of their 1988 album, Grafitti, is now available digitally at CDBaby.com or http://www.myspace.com/hgraf.
