White Knuckle Jazz

Like Minds is a unique fusion of jazz ideology and state of mind.  Listeners have become believers.  Four guys coming together to create a synergistic blend of jazz, blues and fusion, with influences ranging from Hendrix to Horace Silver.  This is instrumental jazz filtered through decades of development of individual styles.  It's white knuckle jazz that that pulls the listener in and makes you smile. Jeff Keller on electric bass, Kermit Kinne on drums, Rene Peters on Trumpet and percussion and Barry Sebastian on guitar.  Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Like Minds plays select venues, and may be available for low key, laid back gigs in your area.  We can cover quiet dinners for special occasions (yes, you can talk and hear yourself!).  Or, provide thought provoking music that you may have never dreamed existed, in a club atmosphere.   We prefer smoke free engagements.  Contact us for more information.  We have real "day jobs," in professional fields.  But, at night...   If you want "a listen," check out an MP3 or two.  We also have a short video from a recent television appearance available on the MP3s page.  For a listing of the types of tunes and artists that we cover, check the playlist link to the left. We are not your typical party band.  Our goal is to play music that challenges the listener and makes you say, "wow" at the end of a tune.  We're not a pop cover band.  And we're not an oldies band.  There are plenty of those out there to choose from.  But, if you like contemplative, intelligent music, you've come to the right place.  And, thanks for stopping by!
