Founded in 1999, The Inner Court is a group of four consummate and seasoned musicians who have found a love for the art of Jazz Fusion – an eclectic blend of rock, funk, Brazilian, Caribbean, and other Latin styles, presented on a solid foundation of jazz.
Members of The Inner Court like drummer Randy McGill, pianist and keyboardist Paul Banman, and guitarist Ken Malone, have joined bassist and band leader Tony Alford, to collectively present an enriching creation of jazz to the public for entertainment and cultural enrichment.
The band’s repertoire consists of some very stylish fusion arrangements of beloved jazz standards, covers from well-known fusion artists such as Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Chick Corea Elektric Band, Mike Stern, Yellowjackets, Weather Report, John Scofield, and the like, as well as some original compositions that pay homage to the musical style.
