CHROME  ELS  is  a  trio  comprised  of
             some of the most intense in-demand
             musicians  in  Philly,  featuring  Lionel
             Forrester,  Jr  on  drums,  Eric  Whatley
             on  bass,  and  Simon  Martinez  on
             guitar. All of them are masterful on
             their own and collectively they push
             boundaries of funk, jazz, or wherever
             else  they  take  it.  Improvisation  is
             fundamental  among  performers
             you’ll find at a jazz fest, but Chrome
             Els collectively improvises on another
             level – following each other tightly as
             they  lay  down  a  texture  and  a
             groove that will push you around in
             its rhythm. And one of the best parts
             is to watch how much fun they have
             doing it! Each of them are exciting
             musicians  to  watch  and  together,
             they  are  clearly  having  a  blast  --
             which  is  refreshing  when  done  by
             such high talent.
