Formed by Aaron Steiner (keys), Michael Naphegy (drums) and Joachim Huber (bass) Killah Tofu's debut album "Do The Pump" consists of ten original compositions, a wild mix of jazz, funk and punk "jazzpfunk" as they like to say all aim at pushing their audience out of their comfort zone. Unexpected twists and turns meet atmospheric synthesizer sounds in unusual arrangements. Their music is powerful, bold and evocative. True to their motto "music must be interesting and dangerous" the musicians also worked very freely in their studio sessions ("Tentakel" and "Chicken in the Kitchen") and infused their entire album with their easy-going and open-minded spirit.

The young saxophonist Tia Fuller has been making a name for herself on the New York jazz scene playing with the likes of T.S. Monk, Jon Faddis, Ralph Peterson, Jr., Nancy Wilson, Gerald Wilson, Don Byron, and Jesse Davis. In the world of pop music, she tours extensively with Beyonce and label-mate trumpeter Sean Jones has featured her on his three recordings for Mack Avenue, returning the compliment by guesting on four tracks on 'Healing Space'. Fuller is also a talented composer and the 10 original compositions that make up 'Healing Space' showcase her bold and sassy alto tone and serpentine-like improvisations but also her invigorating interaction with her all-female working band and guest musicians - trumpeter Sean Jones and tenor saxophonist Ron Blake.
