First there is Dave 'the Octopus' Ehmann, the Drummer. He has been in many jam bands since the early eighties and has a full tribal sound with amazing timing. Dave's influneces include Buddy, Billy, and Bonzo. Steve "the Jam" Episcopo plays lead guitar with a style influenced by the following musicians: Jerry Garcia - Carlos Santana + Jimmy Page among others. Then there's me "butter" with rhythm guitar.  My main influences are George Harrison - David Gilmore - Frank Zappa + Tom Waits among many others.

We use as little structure as possible and go where each groove takes us. We love playing with new people that can add a new flavor to our brew. A talented keyboardist and a pearly smooth bass player would be most welcomed to join. Send us some samples or a URL to your samples online here.

Improvo is currently managed by ImprovRecords, Inc. Out of Albany, NY. We are the small label's first production in what will be a long series of quality groups for you to enjoy.

Where's the music?

Soon we will also have tracks performed by Butter and Jam and some side projects. UPDATE: Here is a solo song by butter. It's a full four and a half minutes. Polar Chill
Climbing Cliffs is a brand new composition. It consists of two tracks in stereo with delay added then reversed.

We used a fender strat with effects processor and wah peddle for the rhythm. Lead was cranked through a Marshall Twin Amp and Dave's full set of drums was in use. The Korg was used later for keyboards on Lektrostan by Dave and Dave also played some bass afterwards to fill in the sound.

We think our music sounds best on WinAmp , you will most likely agree. With all of the various plugins to suit your tastes it is the most customizable media player we have found. If you look very hard you will find some skins that our webmaster designed. We also like WinAmp's attitude towards free stuff!
