| | From : | | • New York | | Musical Style : | | • Jim Moseley, Ranjeet Saxena, and DeWitt Nelson were all living in the New York area and playing in different bands. Jim was playing drums in a punk/funk band that had placed an ad in The Village Voice seeking a guitar player. After days of frustrating madness, in walks Ranjeet with a violin case slung over his shoulder. Quickly realizing Ranjeet had more musical talent than anyone else in the room, he was hired. Jim and Ranjeet soon became close friends and left the band together. At Ranjeet’s urging, both members began to work on some songs Jim had started writing about the girl living in the apartment above him. Together they realized their song making was right on track. Jim bought a bass to record the bass lines, but to do any performing they would have to have a real bass player. Ranjeet’s long friendship with DeWitt Nelson led them to the bass player they needed. Soon they were all jamming together, in rehearsal studios and in DeWitt’s basement.

| | Press Reviews | | “This is good stuff! The musicianship in this group is awe-inspiring. The songs are intelligent & well-written, …a great diversion from the dull and pointless styles of mainstream music. This is songwriting at it's best and musical fusion that is pure genius!” Michael Allison – www.TheGlobalMuse.com
“…a range of influences that gel into a pleasing mix of blues rock with a twist…the songs are ballsy (and) the band hits its stride…proving the blues has many faces.” Bryan Baker, www.Gajoob.c | | Good things people say about D. Saxmo | | "Yesterday's Future" Looks Great for D.Saxmo's Future!, July 8, 2000
Reviewer: sherry ross, NJ, USA
YESTERDAY'S FUTURE by the funk/blues rock trio D.SAXMO is a must have new album. I'm in love with this CD and the more I listen to it the more I love it. These three guys have come up with a new funk rock sound that has a "manic blues" edge to it. This engaging quality makes you rock and want to listen to the words as well. There is so much musical energy that you have to move, but the "edginess" and witty words with their touch of pathos, gives this music depth while maintaining an upbeat tempo. That bit of tension makes D.SAXMO'S music delicious and sophisticated along with an earthy appeal. The opening song CHANGE is a knockout and sets the mood and viewpoint of this album - men with the child in them still kicking around in a complicated modern world. They can be naughty boys, but as a female you have to love them anyway. They're trying so hard, are witty and bright, and when t | | Add Yourself to the Artists Mailing List |
