McGill Manring Stevens

Merging the bizarre, funk-influenced sensibilities of bassist Michael Manring, guitarist Scott McGill, and drummer Vic Stevens, this trio provides a clever mixture of rock and roll, jazz, and lounge to make a psychedelic wonderland of strange music. The group initial came together if they discovered themselves focusing on lots of the same celebrations and recording periods, and eventually discovered working with each other quite exciting. Their debut record, Addition by Subtraction, presented their unique mix to jazz viewers. Almost sounding like a rock and roll record, that wouldn’t also prepare listeners for Managed by Radar, their incredibly bizarre follow-up. Much less structured plus much more located in psychedelic meandering, the record was an extremely challenging pay attention and was fulfilled using a warm reception in the jazz world.
