Coming from a wide range of backgrounds, the all instrumental outfit delivers a combination of jazzy smooth lounge vibes, deep hip hop grooves, soulful breakbeats, and dark down tempo funk. Quotes from the press: "Moving in between jazzy lounge funk and psychedelic soundscapes, the key of Q will have your booty shaking and head bobbing before sending you into outer space." Shout Magazine Boone, NC "With its own hypnotic grooves, ambient textures and smooth jazz melodies, the Key of Q is also straddling an electronica and jamband boundary................with seven members, it takes a group effort to allow each member to find his own voice within a given song. The extended exploration of a song means the whole group pursues an idea not just one member." Mark Pantsari, The Post & Courier Charleston, SC “............ the sound has caught on.” Cristen George, The City Paper Charleston, SC “............ an edge that most jazz bands can’t offer” Lorne Chambers, The West Of West Ashley, SC "Their all instrumental songs mix melodic jazz undertones with crisp hip-hop cuts from DJ Kurfu, as they constantly seem to drive deeper and deeper into trance-like explorations of their grooves." Neal Martin, The George Street Observer College of Charleston Publication
