The whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is a genre-defying trio that blends steel pans (Jonathan Scales), electric bass (E’Lon JD), and drums (Maison Guidry) into a sound that’s equal parts virtuosic fire and cinematic subtlety. Fusing jazz, classical, and progressive rock with Latin rhythms and deep funk, the band delivers performances that shift from explosive, jaw-dropping intensity to intimate, breathless stillness. The Fourchestra has toured extensively across North America and Europe, traveled through Africa and Asia as U.S. State Department Cultural Ambassadors, and appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert with Béla Fleck. Now firmly established as a cohesive, indivisible trio, Scales composes specifically for the band’s singular, collective voice.
