Deep Energy Orchestra is a multinational fusion collective led by bassist/composer Jason Everett (also known as Mister E). Their music synthesizes elements from progressive rock, Indian classical rhythms, jazz/fusion, orchestral textures, and world music, creating rich, genre-defying soundscapes.
The ensemble often features distinguished guest musicians from acclaimed acts such as, Trey Gunn (King Crimson); Joe Deninzon (Kansas); Gary Husband (John McLaughlin/Allan Holdsworth); Adam Holzman (Miles Davis/Steven Wilson); V. Selvaganesh (Shakti, Masters of Percussion); and Mark Lettieri (Snarky Puppy).
The project is known for its lush arrangements, virtuosic performances, and cross-cultural collaborations — often weaving acoustic Indian instruments and classical strings into complex compositions that still groove and pulse with improvisational energy
