Psychedelic Rock / Jazz that highlights dynamic playing, great tone and lots of space. Influences include Bill Frisell, Miles Davis and Bill Evans.

IDEOLOGY

Quiet Battles is a harmonically rooted group that uses dynamics and tone as the centerpiece of musical inspiration, rather than complex melodies or rhythm changes.
