Elevations consists of founding members and rhythm section Brett Williams, Anton DeFade, and George Heid III in addition to the horn section of Michael Stephenson and Benny Benack III. The Pittsburgh-native group is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the most exciting and unique groups in the young generation of today.  

Their music is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition with a blend of diverse influences.  Each member started their musical journey at a very young age and comes from different musical backgrounds. It is this diversity paired with musical exploration and intensity that creates the   intriguing sound of Elevations.
 
Elevations independently put out their debut self-titled album in March of 2013 and their second album, “To The Stars,” is set to release in early May 2015.  The group has performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Pittsburgh JazzLive International Festival, Where Rivers Meet Jazz Festival, and Monroeville Jazz Festival.  In addition, Elevations has collaborated with many great artists including Warren Wolf, Sean Jones, and Carolyn Perteete.
