GEQ

he high energy of this group will surely make you get up on your feet and dance. Nominated by the 2007 Detroit Music Awards for Outstanding Modern Jazz Group, GEQ is one of the hottest up-and-coming jazz ensembles from the Detroit area.

Composer/trumpeter Guymon Ensley formed the band in 2001, in a time when established jazz groups were scarce. Thus, GEQ is a rare gem that plays classic jazz, be-bop, and nu-jazz music of the highest artistic quality. The energy of this group of six has been compared respectfully to the likes of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and the John Coltrain and Miles Davis ensembles - and has received acceptance from worldwide audiences.

The group continues to deliver, setting standards in musicianship and professionalism.
