Love hip-hop and jazz music? Check out The Consonance - a new jazz band that started off as six musical students from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada!
Smooth melodic lines, catchy lyrics, and danceable grooves - those three phrases pretty much sum up a new jazz ensemble (that's a fancy word for BAND) called The Consonance. The Consonance began as six jazz students from Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, meeting for a carefree jamming environment. They began writing songs and quickly formed the hip-hop/jazz band. Sensing great chemistry early in their song-writing process, they began recording and gigging immediately. The Consonance released their first EP, More Alive EP, in March 2009.
They have collectively made music their life and are constantly growing & changing together. The Consonance have six from different walks of life, with six different musical backgrounds. In every song you can hear six forces working as one: Jazz, Funk, Pop, Rock, R&B and Hip-Hop. The Consonance have combined all genres to create one that is truly their own.
Along with constantly writing new material, The Consonance are playing numerous cover & original shows all over Canada. In July 2010, they are embarking on their first Western Canadian tour to promote their first full-length album, Come The Day, which was recorded at the end of March 2010.
