Katarina Boudreaux and Sam Tepper (aka /fyo͞oɡ/ ) have one of those stories that assures you this musical union was “meant to be”. The following quote illustrates this statement perfectly,
This is the first collaborative project I have embarked on. Sam walked in on a gig, and we’ve worked together ever since. The three originals are co-written, and it is the first album I have not played keys on (three previous studio albums).”
Katarina speaking about her chance meeting with Sam.
/fyo͞oɡ/ fuses their distinctive personality and charisma into a groovin’ sound bed of old school jazz, blues, some good old fashioned gospel soul, hints of funk, and a little experimentation for an amalgamation of frequencies you haven’t experienced before.
Think Billie Holliday or Ella Fitzgerald coming out as a duo with Stevie Wonder or Jerry Lee Lewis. If you can imagine that, you might be able to get a slight sense of /fyo͞oɡ/‘s unique blend of musical elements. To really understand what I am trying to say though, you have to dive in head first and let the music take you where it may.
These guys definitely have my attention! This some mighty fine jazz!
