The Freelance Bishops are made up of Steve Giannaros on tenor/alto sax, Justin Piper on guitar, Jeremy Parker on organ and keys, Brian Coakley on bass, and Jay Breen on drums.
The Bishops began three years ago in Lowell, MA, playing to an audience that just couldn't get enough of their vibe.
As they matured and grew into their funky sound they began to fill up rooms of people ready to dance, including most of the major clubs in Boston, such as The House of Blues (Cambridge), and The Middle East among others.
At this moment, they are now poised to bring their funky vibe out to the rest of the world and redefine in the pocket playing wherever they go.

High quality stuff

An excellent CD from start to finish. These guys can flat-out play! "Smack my bishop" is especially sweet. I would love to see these guys live.

Real raw jazz influenced funk that will make you groove
author: John Stevens
I bought the Freelance Bishops cd at a live show at the House of Blues in Cambridge MA and as I said above in the summary of my review it's real raw jazz influenced funk that'll make you groove. The musical connection between these five guys is amazing. There's not much else to say but CHECK IT OUT!!!!

Oldschool jazz fusion with a twist of lime !!!
author: Dick Johnson
These gentlemen have really got it together. The tunes on this gem are tight, calculated, and yet shoot off into an improvisational frenzy without losing the most important factor that sets the Bishops far above other groups along this vein - the groove.
There isn't a mediocre cut on this record... and the bonus track is a surprise to be shared among all good music lovers. I can't believe that they pulled this record off live.
If you don't move some part of your body involuntarily while listening to this, you should go to the hospital - you're probably dead!

One of the best
author: Treeshdw3
I saw FLB wayy back in April at the historic Monopole in Plattsburgh New York. They totally blew me away live and I have to say that both their live album and studio album are quite amazing. I just saw them again on Saturday and was reminded of their energy and cool vibes. Both cd's are worth the buy even if you are not sure if you like them, it is deifnately a good investment. I always listen to it on my way to work, when I'm writing papers, and when I am getting ready to go out. Smack My Bishop is an awesome tune along with the rest of the album. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out, you won't be disappointed!
