Measured Chaos is heavily influenced by Chicago's classic blues, Detroit's R&B, the Rock music explosion of the late sixties, and they have the pedigrees to prove it. Al Jacquez, Mark Tomorsky, Mark Gougeon and Frank Charboneaux enjoyed impressive musical careers before being fused together as Measured Chaos. Their collective credits include; Eric Burdon, Mark Lindsay, Little Richard, John Mayall, John Mellencamp, Mitch Ryder, Billy Preston, Savage Grace, Stephen Stills, as well as work for commercials, film and television.
Live shows by the Detroit based quartet are a powerful reminder that connecting with an audience is the most important part of any performance. It brings a physical definition to the phrase “substance over style.” Just honest, "from the footprint of their soul" performances, revealing a life spent working to get to this point. “Blues, Soul & Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Three simple ingredients. One simple explanation; Measured Chaos.

On their first disc "Measured Chaos LIVE", recorded live in 2003, the band combines inspired classics and satisfying originals. For example; BB King's "The Thrill Is Gone" is wrapped in dreamy intensity and Peter Green's "Oh Well" is played with sheer animal force. The CD slides effortlessly between Rock, Blues, Jazz and Soul for a thorough look at what "The Blues" has become when it's seen through the eyes of four very accomplished musicians.

Their second disc, released in 2006, showcases the band as writers with all original songs. It runs the gamut with traditional blues mixed with their more hybrid "blues-fusion" styles. It’s their first studio recording. Along with fusing musical elements, Measured Chaos incorporated more sonic textures like; bottleneck, acoustic guitar, harmonica, and percussion along with its basic pallet of drums, bass, electric guitars and vocals.
Vivid lyrics and tasty guitar playing really set the tone for the entire disc. They have touched the best of new and the true. Again, you find that restraint, (or taste) plays a big part in the way Measured Chaos delivers on these 14 tracks. As they say, “Less Is More."
