Sexual Chocolate is a cover band that whole-heartedly believes that there’s no “school” of music better than the “old school”, specializing in the music of Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind and Fire, and Kool and the Gang, just to name a few. Conceived by trombonist, bandleader, songwriter, and vocalist Nick Javier, Sexual Chocolate’s “old school” musical vision uses jazz as a foundation, but incorporates funk, soul, gospel, and pop music. Behind him, the band works a groove like James Brown’s J.B.’s, and treats jazz more as a musical action than a music genre. Plus, their shows feature their bandleader with enough energy to power a fleet of blue trucks. It’s an energy that burns full throttle, lit by the heat of Nick Javier’s masterful trombone playing, soulful voice, and the power and passion of his performance.
​Sexual Chocolate is uniquely qualified to maintain the “groove” tradition. All members

Nick Javier
Ruby Pan, alto saxophone and flute
George Yeh, guitar
Sobina Chi, keyboards
Jack Ko, electric bass;
Devlin Chen, drums

come from deep jazz, classical, and rock backgrounds. But their collective goal is to make you get on up and DANCE!

​Since hitting the scene two years ago (2010), the group has played all the major venues in Taichung, including 89K, Retro Cafe, as well as DC Stage in Kaoshiung.They’ve even been educators in funk, presenting a master-class in groove at Hong Guang University.
