Eric Essix

Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Eric Essix began as a fusion and contemporary jazz bandleader in the early 90s. He appeared on the scene with two recorded albums of light pop, fusion, and modern material for Nova. His subsequent releases for Zebra Records showed a shift from his established smooth funk (1998's Small Talk) to a more mature, bluesier style with a distinct Southern feel (Southbound, released in 2000). ~ Ron Wynn
