Fronted by musician Noah Lit, Noah and the MegaFauna combines Django jazz, indie-rock and boho folk on a debut album called “Anthems for a Stateless Nation.” The L.A.-based swinging ensemble joins us to play live in the studio.
This is what I've been craving...what a fusion of style and sound! They could be the house band at the Mos Eisley Cantina (Star Wars Cantina Scene). Bravo!
Having been playing music for over 20 years and focusing mostly on Jazz, I find myself getting burned out on what is the norm in Jazz in Blues. Noah and the MegaFauna are so refreshing and inspiring to hear. I love how they are mixing genres to create accessible and emotive music. Nice work!
