Guitarist Bill Dolan, drummer
John Herndon, bassist
LeRoy Bach and keyboard player Jeremy Jacobsen formed the instrumental fusion/funk group
5ive Style. The group's self-titled debut appeared in 1995; following an extended break which allowed
Herndon to return to his duties in
Tortoise and Dolan the chance to record an LP with his side project
Heroic Doses,
5ive Style returned in 1999 with
Miniature Portraits. ~ John Bush
