Formed in May of 2004, Doppler Shift is an experimental jazz-funk-rock band comprised of drums, bass, tenor saxophone, and trumpet. Inspired by groups such as the John Zorn Masada Quartet and the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, and fueled by James Brown, Ornette Coleman, Helmet, Medeski Martin and Wood, Doppler Shift has no chording instruments by choice, giving the listener a transparent groove to move your ass to. Jazz sure as shit ain't dead - it's just been waiting. Besides - hasn't everything with guitars already been done? Since putting together their first album masterpiece, "Physics" (October 2005), Doppler Shift has been receiving critical acclaim. Listen to a sample of some of the many tracks off our 1st release, "Physics" and make sure to purchase a copy, which can be made through messaging Doppler Shift here on myspace or directly through CDBaby

With junglebop/freespazz drummer Dave Marsalek of SPIZM / Trioizm & The Chicago Junglebop Syndicate onboard, who knows what sonic limits this modern experimental funkjazz quartet will conquer?
