         - NOTES

         The Quartertones' debut album reveals a sophisticated
         intertwining of organic hip-hop beats with heavy Jazz
         guitar and bass - accentuated by sultry Jazz and Pop
         vocals and guest rhymesayers. Developing as a live
         experiment in merging new and classic Urban sounds, The
         Quartertones emerged from the depths of Toronto's
         underground Hip-Hop scene as the city's original freestyle
         Hip-Hop Funk band. A year in the making, and some tracks
         dating as far back as 1998, The Quartertones are proud to
         present their debut CD, "Hidden In Plain Sight"

         Starting as a Jazz band in 1996, The Quartertones became
         Toronto's live answer to freestyle/open mic nights
         occupying several underground Hip-Hop hot spots around the
         city. By adding critically acclaimed producer, DJ Serious
         and veteran Hip-Hop producer/emcee Planet Pea, Tai Ara
         (aka Jimmy Green, guitar), Kori Ayukawa (aka C5K0, bass)
         and Katherine Bates (aka Ms. Bates) developed a unique
         Jazz aesthetic matching the Hip-Hop beat brought forth by
         Serious and Pea. The ensuing creation cleverly blends
         Funk, Hip-Hop and Jazz.

         Hidden In Plain Sight refers to The Quartertones proximity
         to their audience and how they have become somewhat
         "blurred" in the eyes of the public. Like the tree outside
         a house you pass everyday, things gets lost in the bustle
         of daily activity. "Hidden In Plain Sight" is an aural
         statement that the band cannot be concealed any longer.
         Strong composition, blazing solos and unwavering focus on
         sound and mood make this album solid from start to .nish.
         From the Trip-Hop ambience of Purple (Lifted), to the
         ferocious energy of Caffeine, this expert mix of
         Hip-Hop/Soul vocals and instrumental Jazz/Funk will
         satisfy the most demanding music connoisseur.
