HIP HOP/RAP: Hip Hop, JAZZ: Bebop
Details:
The Massey Trios roots are filtered deep within Flint, Michigan. Flint served as a monumental inspiration for the trio, which originally began as a hip-hop quartet.
In 2004 the Massey group dropped a member, thus began the Trios metamorphosis into the stylized combination of concentrated Hip-Hop and Jazz we hear modernly.
The Massey Trio is composed of Charlie Boike who delivers the Trios potent lyrics; Jim Baker serves up the groups bottomless and profound double bass, and Marc Dixon strongly holds the key connecting position of the Trio, functioning as their drummer. Marc, Jim, and Charlie played multiple shows in Flint and Lansing, Michigan, yet in late 2004 Jim and Charlie re-positioned themselves in Chicago. After gathering a reputable fan base in the Michigan area, Charlie and Jim decided to continue their project as a duet in Chicago. Together, the pair still attends weekly practice, and remains fueled with anticipation to play more venues in the city. The twosome keep their connections and practices frequent as possible with their drummer to keep the spirit of the Trio alive. Even through constant shifts and bumps in the road, the duo remains optimistic, and continues to collaborate and expand with Marc upon their return trips to Flint.
The Massey Trio is a tightly executed amalgamation of fierce Hip-Hop lyrics with a defined Jazz undertone that makes this band deserving of serious recognition.
