Back On Duty

We kicked off the 2013 touring season with a bang a couple of weeks ago, with what has become our annual pilgrimage to Rochester. What a great night! We got to debut several songs from our new album, Off Duty, and also threw in some older ones that we hadn’t played before.  Next up – [...]

Off Duty

Our sixth album, Off Duty,  is now available! What’s more, you can now download all our music directly from the source… head over to our new Music Store and fill up your digital cart!  To order physical CDs, please visit our distributor, Distribution13. Here’s a nice write-up from Jonathan Widran:

Four80East Music Store is now open!

You can now download our entire catalogue directly from the source… this site!  Mix and match singles and albums – whatever you want, go and grab it!  All tracks are encoded as very high-bitrate MP3s, equal or better quality than iTunes.

The Calm Before the Storm

Three weeks until the release of Off Duty, and so much to be done!  So what are we doing?

Then back to Orlando. Planes, Trains, Automobiles and Boats.  Thanks to everyone who came out to [...]

Another busy summer…

…and I can’t believe it’s half over already!  After kicking things off in Windsor, ON, we went on a great little run with Shilts and Matt Marshak in the Mid-West.  Wonderful crowds, and great hangs.  Dodged some tornadoes and made some new friends.  We were treated very well!  Added another fabulous bass player to our [...]

Marcus Anderson – Now

Four80East has been sharing the stage with the talented Marcus Anderson for the last couple of years.  They have now produced one of the songs on Marcus’ brand new album, “Now”.  The track is called “M-Powered”…

New Canadian Smoothies

New name, same great party!  The 2011 New Canadian Smoothies were once again held at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, and featured a who’s who of Smooth Jazz artists, including Dave Koz, Paul Brown, Warren Hill and Mindi Abair.  Our very own Michael Dunston brought the house to their feet

Embrace the Hyphen

The one question we’ve probably been asked the most in interviews over the years is, “How would you classify your music?”.  And in all this time, we’ve never managed to come up with a consistent, coherent answer.  “Groove-Jazz”?  “Electro-Jazz”? “Nu-Jazz”? “Trance-Jazz”?  “Cinematic-Funk-Fusion-Chill-Jazz”?  It’s all close, but nothing really seems to nail it. I remember years [...]
