The AltNews Band brings together elements of neo bop, nu jazz, chill and Latin music with unexpected instrumental solos, richly layered synth sounds, hip rhythms and bluesy, funky guitar hooks. Started by guitarist, composer and jazz visionary Tony Koch, the quintet is filled out by producer, engineer and bass player Miles Hill, drummer Bobby Ruggiero, saxophonist Campbell Ryga and renowned Vancouver multi-instrumentalist Miles Black. Members have established their own distinctive voices through decades of innovating, performing and recording, and because Koch carefully lays out each of his compositions with these unique players in mind, The AltNews Band achieves a compelling sweet and savory blend of their individual ideals. Songs sizzle with ultra-hip, lyrical melodies, rich harmonies and dynamic fusion grooves with undertones of funk and rock that challenge concepts of traditional jazz while still holding true to its deep, improvisational roots.
The band’s rejuvenating debut CD, UberChill, is a collection of Koch's original alternative jazz tunes that dives deeply into his creative use of melody, harmony and rhythm and celebrates each members' diverse perspectives, all framed by the group's sizzling chemistry. The songs on the album encourage listeners to slow down, relax and melt into delicious layers of melody and harmony. UberChill features sparkling performances with simmering grooves and soaring solos. The underlying compositions tell thought-provoking stories about the thrill and adventure of life’s mysterious ebbs and flows.
