Catalog Number: CIMP 343
Loaded BassesJoe Fonda (Bass), Claire Daly (Baritone Sax), Joe Daley (Tuba), Gebhard Ullmann (Bass Clarinet), Michael Rabinowitz (Bassoon), Gerry Hemingway (Drums)This all-star sextet helps bring to reality a "low-end" project that for years Joe Fonda had been conceptualizing. Everything (ensemble work, solo dynamics, the concept of the musical work) comes together in excellent fashion on a recording that Mr. Fonda states "...was one of the highlights of my musical life" and which the producer calls "...a most enjoyable evening." Recorded Sept. 15, 2005Catalog Number: CIMP 284
Transforming the SpaceJoe Fonda (Bass), Barry Altschul (Drums), Billy Bang (Violin)FAB: the acronym for Fonda-Altschul-Bang is just that. Joe Fonda writes this is “one of the most enjoyable recording sessions I have done.” The spirits were in the house and
CIMP captured it all; we even left in a bit of good-natured banter among the trio. A fun fest by FAB. Recorded February 17 & 18, 2003.Catalog Number: CIMP 198
Full Circle SuiteJoe Fonda (Bass), Gebhard Ullmann (Bass Clarinet), Chris Jonas (Soprano Saxophone), Taylor Ho Bynum (Conch), Kevin Norton (Drums) Joe Fonda's quintet explores the long form in improvising music. The title track isa multi-sectional piece that lasts over 27 minutes in its episodic tale inspired by the medicine wheel. Recorded March 10 & 11, 1999.Catalog Number: CIMP 157
Consensual TensionMark Whitecage (Alto Saxophone), Sabir Mateen (Clarinet), Joe Fonda (Bass), Harvey Sorgen (Drums)With this, his other, quartet, Mark Whitecage extends his Jazz lines with counterpoint and humor. Both Whitecage and Mateen present a fresh facet of their sound and soul over a program of 'Oleo' and six originals. Recorded July 21, 1998.Catalog Number: CIMP 151
ImaginingsDavid Bindman (Tenor Saxophone), Joe Fonda (Bass), Kevin Norton (Drums)David Bindman, former student of Bill Dixon and active tenor player on the new music scene, makes his leadership debut here. The trio bears down with a compelling intensity on a program of 10 compositions ranging from Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" to fresh originals from the narrative to the abstract. Recorded July 9 & 10, 1997.
