SLAP: Jazz/Jam Trio

 

 John Henry Scully is the drummer. He's equally at home laying down the backbeat to a reggae influenced vamp as he is playing a solo in 5/4 time. Scully's intuitive ability to shift gears and tempos make him a rare gem in the field of percussion.

 

 Mike Zubal is the bassist. A musician all his life, Mike lays down the foundation for all of the musical journeys that Slap undertakes. His style is most unique and his playing is highly recognizable for it's angularity and beauty. He is the anchor.

 Tom Zubal is the guitarist. Raised on a steady diet of Led Zeppelin and Hendrix, Tom later got jazz training and has since merged the two great forms of American music in his playing. His solid rhythm is balanced by an adventurous improvisational hunger.

 

SLAP has played such venues as The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Downtown Arts and Cultural Festival, Taste of Tremont, The Lava Lounge, The Grovewood Tavern, Mojo's Musicafe, The Beachland Ballroom, Pat's in the Flats, Market Square Park, CWRU Thursdays in the Park Concert series, Wade Oval, Market Square Park (every Saturday in September), Major Hoople's River Bed Cafe, The Market Avenue Wine Bar, Studio-A-Rama, as well as private parties and receptions.
