Influences- Lettuce, Grant Green, The Time, Donny Hathaway, James Brown, Roy Hargrove, Chic, D'Angelo, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Sly, P-funk, Herbie Hancock "Instrumental funk crew PHO could pass for a pack of young CPAs, or a Mormon mission group. Yet they lay down industrial-strength grooves in the grand tradition of the JB’s, AWB and the Meters, with an electric Miles Davis flourish or two for good measure. These eight guys write catchy originals, and offer exciting solos to go with their irresistible rhythms. Like the BT Express, they’ll do it till you’re satisfied." - Star Tribune
