Talkin' 'bout heavy music...

The hard-charging McHill Trio is one of the newest additions to the burgeoning Antelope Valley jazz scene that Butler's hoping to help foster.

Joel "Beacon" Hill plays piano, Joshua McClanahan plays bass and so far the drummer has varied (although fortunately none of them have exploded yet). The boys play two-fisted jazz, encompassing everything from standards to latin, with a healthy dose of funk.
