Jonathan Scales Fourchestra with E'Lon JD & Maison Guidry
Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments that make you hold your breath, this power trio combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk.

Sam First, 6171 W Century Blvd #180, Los Angeles, CA 90045, USA
Jonathan Scales (steel pans), E'Lon JD (bass), Maison Guidry (drums)
You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a soundscape of solitude, the power trio of electric bass (E'Lon JD), drums (Maison Guidry), and steel pans (Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock, peppered with Latin rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and festival stages across North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are… even if just for a precious moment.
