Jk & the contraband
A groove-driven band blending funk, modern jazz and improvisational jams.
Led by John Krasula on guitar, JK & The Contraband ignites stages with their blend of original music, driven from the improvisational spirit of jazz, while hugely inspired by the music of 60’s jam bands and fusion all the way to 90’s alternative rock heroes. Led by John Krasula (JK), the band seamlessly blends soaring melodies, intricate rhythms, and exploratory jams into a captivating and unique sound. Featuring Johnbern Thomas on drums, Patrick Moreno on rhodes and organ, Thomas Milovac on bass & Daniel Bonnet on alto saxophone.
"They sound tight, they get loose, and they look sharp on stage, emanating a sense of fearless confidence."
-Kyle Eagle, The Orlando Weekly Cover Story
“JK & the Contraband leave the listener refreshed and mesmerized — their minds opened to the possibilities of musical arrangement and delivery.”
