Slight Panache is a jazz fusion trio project that aims to modernize the sound pallete of a traditional organ trio instrumentation. The group consists of CJ Hampton on drumset, Greg Ramirez on keyboards and Dominic Furiani on guitar. We play original compositions that blend elements of funk, rock, latin, blues and hip hop into groove-oriented arrangements. A primary compositional intention of this group is to allow a large degree of creative freedom through improvisation for all three members. The jazz element of this group, established through the improvisational approach to each song, allows the material to stay fresh and exciting to us as the players and that has translated very well to our live audiences. Many of our tunes are upbeat, energetic and at times danceable. 

We are very close to a release of our first studio recorded album! This album allowed us to spend time in a studio environment and discuss how we wanted each tune to unfold and the dynamic progression from beginning to end of each song. We recorded a select few of our favorite songs to play for this album and the studio environment resulted in some great captures of live performances. On this album, we had the amazing opurtunity to feature one of my dear friends, Anibal Seminario, on our song Tomorrow. We are really happy to unvail a more polished sound to our audience and look forward to getting to work on our upcoming project full of brand new compositions.
