That Kid

1/2 of the production group "Creamcops"

Lucien LaMotte is a composer, guitarist and instructor based in Seattle who is interested in collaborating with other artists to create new sonic environments. In past efforts, he has played guitar for the funk/rock group The Unknown Jeromes with drummer Jason Tabosa and bassist Scott Clay, as well as played in the world music ensemble Brother Sun, fusion ensemble 650 Connection with former Doobie Brother member Danny Hull, and worked with Carlos Santana bassist Myron Dove and Afro-Bebop group the Pascal Bokar Band for former Dizzy Gillespie guitarist Pascal Bokar. I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with artists such as Chaka Khan, Ziggy Marley, Don Carlos, The Temptations, The Whispers and the O'Jays. You can hear his guitar playing on Ben Vega's latest recording Bury the Times. Most often I can be heard playing jazz guitar in combo settings. Lucien is interested in combining folk/Americana elements with jazz harmony, improvisation and electronic textures. The music for his album When You Go is influenced by the sounds of Country and folk music with vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Beach Boys. So take a listen, and if you like the music you hear look for Lucien's CD When You Go on cdbaby.com and iTunes. 

Lucien is currently working in a jazz fusion trio playing jazz standards as well as his arrangements of popular tunes such as "Norwegian Wood" and the Police's "Murder by Numbers." In this setting the group focuses on the improvised elements of original jazz charts, giving them a chance to really "play out," and feature the songwriting elements of Lucien's material influenced by Americana and Alt. Country elements. The high level of performance skill in this group allows the musicians the freedom to move between the variety of musical styles we enjoy, while maintaining the highest standard of artistic integrity.
