About

A lush chillout-jazz-for-tomorrow project, LR-60 & Mr. Moods have as their source of mesmerism an addictive downtempo collection of grooves, a melting pot of moods and textures, dense atmospherics manifesting in paradoxical spaciousness and a merging of jazz and electronica. LR-60 is trumpet player Skip Warren, who found the fulfillment of a vision when he discovered electronic artist Christian Denis – aka Mr. Moods. Through their correspondence they discovered that they shared the same musical goals and tastes. Thus, Warren’s extensive jazz, blues and soul experience perfectly dovetailed with Mr. Moods’ electronic excursions. LR-60 toured with the late “Disco Lady” Johnnie Taylor for four years in the late 70's and also played with the late Z.Z. Hill for a year. He toured with blues legend Bobby “Blue” Bland for a decade from 1981 to 1991. That connection nabbed him countless shows with B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Greg Alman, Albert King, Little Milton, Clarence Carter, Tyrone Davis, Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Wilson Pickett, Junior Walker & The Allstars, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John, Millie Jackson and James Brown – just to name a few.

He also enjoyed a stellar opportunity – recording with gospel singer Kirk Franklin on the Nu Nation Project album with noted gospel artist Fred Hammond. LR-60 has also written and recorded original compositions for CNN.

Not only are LR-60 & Mr. Moods heard on the premier internet chill/lounge station Smoothjazz.com but they also currently have 6 tunes signed to Red Arc Music Publishing, Los Angeles, for use in TV & film.

"A very chilled out vibe emotes from LR-60 & Mr. Moods’ new collection of tunes on ULTRAVIOLENCE… industrial sexy if you will. I love the way chill and lounge-inspired music is heading. Gone are the days when there was just a cold pulse and soulless beat… maybe it’s the warmth of LR-60’s divine trumpet playing (Skip Warren) or the intoxicating rhythms from Mr. Moods (Christian Denis)… for sure the melodic direction of ULTRAVIOLENCE sets a deep groove for fans of ambient jams. This is a project that will transport you to a super relaxed atmosphere with the highest quality musicianship and production. Fans of future jazz, nu jazz and thrill-to-chill jazz will love ULTRAVIOLENCE! It’s a must have addition for that icy cool collection of killer music you have." ~SANDY SHORE, Smoothjazz.com.
