Rebirth, renewal and in the end, pure creation.

Joe Blessett has been self-producing jazz, blues and jazz fusion albums since 2009. He has produced and self-released all of his releases so far, and plays most of the instruments as well. Blessett has written and recorded twevle albums but does not perform live. Secondly, Blessett is a multi-instrumentalist is blurring the lines of traditional jazz, pop and R&B. Not simply satisfied with the stolid art form that jazz has become, Blessett borrows from the past to pay for the future while creating sounds that are new and interesting.One of his most recent release in 2013, "Changing Everything", was almost entirely jazz with some funk and electronica mixed in, and it was a beautiful and comprehensive record. Blessett has even branched out into the realm of electronic music for sounds and accents to complete the musical visions in his head as he continues on a journey to something new.

John Coltrane and Miles Davis, two jazz artists Joe Blessett clearly loves, are joined by Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck and Kanye West as the muses he names for "Excuse Me". Blessett still uses these jazz fusion icons and their style of organized chaos in his song composition while adding many modern twists to the mix. There is also lots more electronic music than is usually present in this new work. Joe Blessett exhibits a slice of MUSIC which complements the smart phone generation which does not care much for genres but does like genre-splicing.

Joe Blessett is all about rebirth, renewal and in the end, pure creation.
