With just two musicians creating a trio-sized mix of drum set and 7-string guitar/bass, the PLANET LOOP DUO is a unique sound not to be missed. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, the duo forges its own brand of global-funk-jazz, combining a jazz aesthetic with the deep rhythms of swing, worldbeat, Latin, funk, and soul music.
"Planet Loop takes the improvisational, live elements of jazz music, the atmospherics of electronic music, rhythms from around the planet, and fuses them together in a show that's at once rootsy, spacey and very now." --Monterey County Weekly, Monterey, CA
“A magic mixture of grooves makes this drum and bass duo unique. Add one part jazz, one part funk, one part Latin, twist with the twenty-first century, and you get Planet Loop.” --Bostonmusic.com
"Planet Loop is jazzy, but in a new way. There are certainly global rhythms happening here. And it all has a very synthesized-yet-organic feel." --Bend Bulletin, Bend, OR
"Planet Loop weaves an experimental sensibility into extremely listenable groove compositions sprouting from jazz, funk and world roots. Visit Planet Loop and you'll want to live there." --Malcom Miles, KZUM, Lincoln, NE
"Like a more intimate, stripped down version of Tortoise, Planet Loop propels forward with warm, bubbly bass and drums and whatever else wants to come along for the ride." --Justin Groteleschen, WZBC, Boston, MA
