The Whitewalls are the latest iteration of guitarist David Lott, bassist Matt Epstein and drummer Josh Bloom. As 3/4 of Licorice, this band of Brooklyn based musicians haunted such famous stages as The Blue Note, The Knitting Factory and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, offering up complex originals, jazz standards and fusion odysseys with their inimitably cohesive and delicate touch.
