Current Projects


JPQ: Jason Passmore Quartet

The JP Quartet (JPQ) is an Atlanta-based group of professional musicians that perform music in virtually all of its forms...from light background music for cocktail parties to smooth jazz and R&B for dancing, to hard swinging jazz.



Nelson Ramos and Son Jazzy

Son Jazzy Orchestra is the premier Salsa, Merenque, Latin Jazz Orchestra in the Metro Atlanta, area. We play authentic Afro-Cuban Caribbean rhythms. Our repertoire is unique and original. We play “Salsa Brava” the hard hitting tunes from Bobby Valentin, Cano Estremera, to Larry Harlow.



The Usual Suspects
THE USUAL SUSPECTS is a professional 17-piece Big Band in the tradition of the Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller Big Bands featuring male and female vocalists. We play exciting musical arrangements from the golden age of the Big Band era, memory-filled Beach Music, the soul-stirring vibes of Motown as well as today’s favorites!


Wild Rice

Wild Rice is a six-piece instrumental Latin jazz band based in Atlanta, GA which performs a variety of tunes. The play list includes pianist/composer Daniel Padrón's originals and a wide selection of jazz standards. The band features spicy Latin grooves in traditional and odd meters, and sizzling solos from each member of the ensemble.


TAAG: The Adrian Ash Group

The Adrian Ash Group (TAAG) features many of Atlanta's finest musicians in a multitude of genres, performing original jazz, as well as Straight-Ahead, R&B/Soul, Fusion, Funk, Rock, Latin, Reggae, Gospel, and Blues (to name a few).


OMP:Odyssey Music Project


The Odyssey Music Project (OMP) is the brain child of saxophonist/composer Jason Passmore (b.1974). He is an Atlanta based composer and performer that specializes in jazz, acoustic and electro-acoustic music. As a composer/arranger, Jason has written or arranged music for various jazz groups and bands that he has been a member. The styles range from jazz to pop, salsa (Latin) and new age (neo—classical) groups. Jason has written original music for similar groups.

The music of the OMP ranges from tranquil melodies to the most interesting and daring sonic combinations on could only imagine. The music goes beyond style and form. It is a combination of intense harmonies, free improvisations, gorgeous melodies and electronic components, all synthesized in electronic based musics.
