Prophets of the Abstract Truth is a Mid-Atlantic based band that performs jazz, bossa nova, and blues music. “In music, players find a kind of truth that spoken language cannot articulate. Prophets of the Abstract Truth find that truth by conjuring a mystical blend of blues, bossa nova and Latin-tinged modern jazz standards, as well as jazzy covers of Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers and even Beatles. Join Carl Disque, Arnie Helmick and Bob Courter as they transport across musical genres in a single bound and provide unique interpretations and spirited arrangements from a broad cross-section of the musical spectrum. Whenever assembled, Prophets of the Abstract Truth combine sax, guitar, vocals, hand percussion and a variety of basses — especially Arnie’s unusual Electric Upright Bass – in a way you’ve never before experienced. Tasteful uses of delays and electronic effects, especially on sax and bass, enrich each song’s texture and acoustic footprint to sometimes achieve a dreamlike dimensionality.”  Learn more about the band and get a sense of their sound on their website: http://www.truthfulmusic.com/
