E.S.P. is a tasteful, jazz quartet with a solidly contemporary sound. Their music has been described as Yesterday's bebop, meets today's modern jazz. It has also been said that E.S.P. plays real jazz that you don't need a GPS to follow. These are true artists who have spent a lifetime studying the masters of jazz composition and improvisation, then created an exciting and wholly contemporary sound. A combination of traditional jazz feel, great improvisation, fresh grooves and original compositions make E.S.P's sound comparable to world-class groups like the Yellowjackets and Pat Metheny. The new CD, "Time's Up!" is on the charts. CMJ puts it at #3 for New Jazz Adds and Radio stations in over 50 cities in the U.S. and abroad right have added it to the rotation.

Time's Up is a fine piece of work that both contemporary fans and jazz purists can easily enjoy. - Ron Jackson, SMOOTH JAZZ VIBES.com It has truly been worth the wait for this new ESP album because the band has taken their music to a whole new level this time around.
