A Legacy Revived
From the stages of the Kool Jazz Festival to the legendary rooms of Mikell’s and The Bitter End, New York Axium was more than a band—it was a fixture of the New York jazz fusion scene. Recognized by DownBeat Magazine and having shared the stage with giants like Miles Davis and The GADD Gang, their music captured the pulse of the city. After decades in the shadows, surviving members Darryl Chalmers and Greg Sam are finally bringing the Axium sound back to light.
