AMMichael Bisio (Bass), Avram Fefer (Saxophone), Stephen Gauci (Saxophone), Jay Rosen (Drums)Here at last is the mate to CIMP 360. Fresh from recent gigs in Austria and New York, this power quartet wows everybody whenever they play. Michael Bisio’s compositions and driving force make great demands but Messrs. Fefer, Gauci, and Rosen have power and imagination in reserve. Meaty music for the hungry and discriminating listener.Catalog Number: CIMP LTD 360
CIMP 360: Circle ThisMichael Bisio (Bass), Avram Fefer (Saxophone), Stephen Gauci (Tenor Saxophone), Jay Rosen (Drums)Here's a powerful listening experience that combines the distinct and intricate compositions of Mike Bisio with spot-on execution and brilliant solo statements from the individual band members. There's plenty of meat here for the mind and body from this large quartet. Arguably, Mike Bisio's most powerful work to date—and that's saying a lot.Catalog Number: CIMP Records 333
SanctuaryBobby Few (Piano), Hilliard Greene (Bass), Newman Taylor Baker (Drums), Avram Fefer (Saxophone)Messrs. Few and Fefer have been collaborating since the mid 1990's but this is the first time they have recorded in Quartet and the results are strong. As Avram Fefer writes, "…a great couple days… a great piano… stimulating company." Bobby Few has been on the scene since his Ayler days of the 1960's and he represents some of the best of the classic Free period. Avram Fefer began to make a name for himself among musicians in the 1990's; he represents the rich future of this music. Here is a finished work for the discriminate and mature listener. Recorded May 7, 2005.Catalog Number: CIMP 324
Painting Breath, Stoking FireMichael Bisio (Bass), Avram Fefer (Saxaphone)Avram Fefer constructed this 12-part suite and the duet offers up a full canvas of music as it pushes and keeps everything inventive & musical and the listener's interest & attention. A small group but full listening. Recorded January 18, 2005.

ConnectionsMichael Bisio (Bass), Avram Fefer (Alto, Soprano,&Tenor Sax/Clarinet/Bass C), Stephen Gauci (Tenor Sax), Jay Rosen (Drums)Michael Bisio, the highly respected Pacific West Coast bassist/composer, put together these compositions specifically for this reed and rhythm quartet. Wonderful music which contains the composition "Basic Deconstruction"?a piece that captures an event we believe is unique in recording history. That's a teaser to get you to listen. That aside, this music stands on its own. Recorded January 17 & 18, 2005.Catalog Number: CIMP 286
Shades of the MuseAvram Fefer (Tenor&Soprano Sax, Clarinet, Bass Clarin), Ken Filiano (Bass), Thomas Ulrich (Cello), Jay Rosen (Drums)It's been a couple of years since Avram Fefer (San Francisco, CA 1964) was last in The Spirit Room but it didn't take long before he was engaging me about another project. While this was being conceived and coordinated, Avram continued other musical activities including his duo association with pianist Bobby Few, an ambient-electric groove quartet called Squelch, an on-going trio collaboration ...Catalog Number: CIMP 237
Lucille's Gemini DreamAvram Fefer (Clarinet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Wilber Morris (Bass), Igal Foni (Drums)Following up his trio's well received debut recording on Cadence Jazz Records, reedman Avram Fefer brings the dynamic trombone of Steve Swell into the mix and the quartet addresses 7 original compositions, including the title track, a particularly evocative and lyrical ballad. Interplay, composition, depth, and complexity all propel this to a dynamic listen. Recorded Jan. 11 & 12, 2001
