FREEPASS
The jazz/blues group known as FreePass consists of Mark Emma and Jeff Gramm on guitar, David Kolk on drums and percussion, and Mic. Montalbano on bass. Each musician brings with them years of experience in a variety of musical settings, playing a variety of styles. Collectively their influences and experiences create the unique musical offerings of FreePass.
The band began when David and Mic., long time jazz aficionados, wanted to perform the music that they enjoyed. With that in mind, they set out in the spring of 2008 to find like-minded musicians. David, approached guitarists Mark and Jeff at church with the notion of joining them, they agreed and FreePass was born.
Meeting in David’s studio, the band began to work on covers of classic jazz masterpieces, such as Miles Davis’ Freddie Freeloader and Nat King Cole’s Straighten Up and Fly Right. Soon afterward, that changed when guitarist Mark, a gifted songwriter, introduced the band to some tunes he had written. The result of this session laid the groundwork for the FreePass sound. From that point forward the band sought to include a healthy mix of originals and covers to not only showcase their diverse interests and talents but the creative process of making music.
Listeners and fans of FreePass enjoy the dazzling leads of Jeff, the unique chordal voicings of Mark, David’s sensitive work on the kit, and Mic.’s grooving bass lines. All of which makes FreePass a dynamic and musically interesting band with a growing fan base.
