phi-psonics

Phi-Psonics is a meditative, deeply soulful, immersive instrumental group from Los Angeles, led by bassist Seth Ford-Young and featuring Sylvain Carton on woodwinds, Mitchell Yoshida on electric piano, and Josh Collazo on drums. Their beautiful music draws on jazz and classical influences together with Ford-Young’s own musical experiences, relationships, and his introduction to spirituality, yoga and philosophy at a young age. Along the way they create something uniquely their own, sharing beautiful landscapes for your spirit to roam freely within.

“Very exciting group. Beautiful!” - Gilles Peterson

“…a proverbial giant leap for the group, capturing the unparalleled spirit of improvisation…Testament to the LA music community” - Aquarium Drunkard

“a spiritual journey through the history of jazz – calling to mind Coltrane…but also Dorothy Ashby, Kahil El’Zabar, New Age percussionist Carlos Niño and his many references – one that feels as at home in the 1970s as it does within the new jazz of the past decade.” - HHV Mag
