If you live in Portland and haven’t run into JAW GEMS yet, well, I pity the fool. In fact, you probably have and just did not realize it. They’re a stealthy bunch.
This experimental jazz/hip-hop group consists of Tyler Quist, Andrew Scherzer, Ahmad Hassan Muhammad, Dj Moore, and Sean Morin. You can find these guys jazzin’ it out every Tuesday night over at Local 188.
I’ve been wondering if JAW GEMS had plans to release any recorded material, and according to their Facebook page it looks like a mixtape is on the way! I’m so stoked. Below you can listen to a short preview from said mixtape, titled “Star Visor”.
Drop some knowledge.
