Their wide range of influences include Led Zepplin, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, P-Funk, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughn, King's X, Rush, Billy Joel, Jamiroquoi, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Extreme, Chick Corea, Rage Against The Machine, Herbie Hancock, 60's soul, 70's funk, and 80's hard rock. Named "Unsigned Artist of the Month" in Keyboard Magazine and placed on the Official 2005 Grammy Ballot in 8 different categories including Best New Artist, NYC-born singer/songwriter Jason Yudoff's percussive keyboard skills lead this hypnotic group down an original path of funk, rock, pop and soul with a hip and passionate vibe. There just isn't anyone out there with this kind of sound.
JY&TNH just filmed their new music video for the single "Pride" - shot on location entirely at The Cutting Room in Chelsea and directed by Stephen Pitalo. The video premiere was held at Club Providence on W. 57th on Aug 5th - stay tuned to jasonyudoff.com for this video and some live performance videos as well. Also, JY&TNH is recording their new single, "Personal Addict" with Andrew Koss of Tainted Blue Productions at the former Quad Studios in Midtown, and gearing up for a new album project slated for an early 2006 release.
REVIEWS:
"Rock 'n' roll piano is very much alive in the capable hands of New York's Jason Yudoff. And we're not just talking technique, here: Jason's SMOKE SEX WATER embodies the spirit of rock, in word and - judging by the album art - deed. From the Grand Funk-ish opening cuts to the Journey-esque love songs, Jason shows a remarkably consistent concept of songwriting, singing, performance, and 'tude. Holding forth mostly on piano, he also spends significant time burning on B-3 and Clav. A very tight rythym section complements Jason's blend of arrangement precision and satisfying looseness of groove. A couple of Elton John-style ballads rounds out the set. But the emphasis is squarely on party music of the highest order. For more information, visit www.jasonyudoff.com"
