Premium Blend is a modern jazz quintet rooted in the tradition of the Blue Note era of jazz but equally influenced by the golden era of hip hop and R&B. In addition to producing 5 studio albums, Premium Blend's music has been used in exhibits at The Children's Museum and Connor Prairie as well as performing for the academy award winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Their 2020 documentary (sponsored by the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation) "38th & Postmodernism" was accepted by The Heartland International Film Festival and grabbed the attention of the prestigious MAPFUND Grant based out of New York City. They currently have a residency at Parlor Public House every Thursday evening where their original compositions and groove filled arrangements are enjoyed by a diverse and energetic crowd of music lovers.
