The Endemic Ensemble is a modern, collaborative jazz quintet led by Seattle bassist Steve Messick. The music, composed by Messick, Franklin, and Limtiaco, is described as having "swinging rhythm, great tunes and purposeful playing - always in the service of the song, and usually anchored in the blues" (Lucid Culture). "Think hard-bop meets classical and big band horns" (Carol Banks Weber, Examiner.com). The Endemic Ensemble’s 2012 CD, Lunar, made NYC blog Lucid Culture's "The 20 Best Jazz Albums of 2012."
