(from www.freakjams.blogspot.com): This band of funky bluesy soul brothers originates from the hills around Athens, GA. They have the fresh crispy kind of funk emanating from their flying fluctuating fingertips. These guys are true soul pimps of the groove. They are understood as musical saints/hermits around their hometown, because they only come out to get funky! Illin saxophone crushes the funk like a seething mad Viking demon. Maximum bass relentlessly assaults your motion-flux capacitor and will charge up your funk batteries to unleash bombastic spurts of the "crazy legs". Let’s not forget the solid drums and snakelike guitar weaving and bobbing with various crispy wahs and clean tones for yo bones. The organ sits atop the clouds in JazzChronic's atmosphere as a Buddha-like deity adding moist precipitation to the grooves, as well as occasionally hurling blasts of hail and acid rain as well. JazzChronic are extreme bad asses of the funk! Check out JazzChronic's YouTube videos for live performances of pure sexual masterpieces. Their heady jams are like 100% raw dome candy!
“I'll have to say JazzChronic is one of the seven secret ronins of Freakjams. They are like the Shogun Assassins of Funk. They travel from town to town bursting with a variety of funk flavors! They hopefully will grace a stage near you soon so they can exorcize the Oni and clean out your ki with their chronic vibes.”

"Today we set the groove to instrumental saxified jazz-funk with a jam called “Rollin’ Thick”. It’s got a sound like somebody got Spyro Gyra really blazed and asked them to compose a soundtrack for a chase scene in a Cleopatra Jones flick. You’d better roll a thick one to get into this Groovathon with JazzChronic and “Rollin’ Thick”."
"Radical" Russ Belville - NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog.

“JazzChronic was serving up some high-energy amplified funk-rock-jazz (in that order) from an outdoor stage on the right. We had a blast! JazzChronic will never be featured on XM’s “real” jazz channel. Jazz is only a piece of what they do. So the Terrapin gig seems just right for their sound.”

"Share the Wealth" is the grownup, matured JazzChronic. JazzChronic came into their own through "Share the Wealth." Check out "Share the Wealth," you will not be disappointed, but oh so pleasantly surprised. I sure was!

“Mixing jazz and funk in fusion JazzChronic doesn't mind being the atypical Athens band. Playing their unique sound all over the city and the state of Georgia for the past two years, JazzChronic has earned a reputation and fan base following them from one downtown venue to another.
