Paths to GloryPaths to GloryKalaparush Maurice McIntyre (Tenor), Adam Lane (Bass), Jesse Dulman (Tuba), Ravish Momin (Drums)Kalaparush & The Light have, over the past 3 years, put forth one of the most distinct group sounds of the new millennium. After 3 recordings solidifying that group sound, they join forces with the soulful power of Adam Lane's bass. This was such a success there was discussion about incorporating the bassist into the group whole. What a novel way to grow a group. Who knows? At this rate, 15 years from now it could be Kalaparush & The Light Big Band. If so, it all started here. Recorded March 4 & 5, 2004.

South EasternSouth EasternKalaparush Maurice McIntyre (Tenor Saxophone), Jesse Dulman (Tuba), Ravish Momin (Drums)Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre, after almost a half century in music, has been documented on only a handful of sessions as leader or sideman. Even amid these, this offering is unique in its instrumentation and the obtuse melodies of this whistle-able yet angular music. 10 cuts, 10 ponderables. Recorded May 29 & 30, 2001.

Realities: Old&NewRealities: Old&NewLuther Thomas (Alto Saxophone), Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre (Tenor Saxophone), Mads Thorsen (Guitar), Brian Smith (Bass), Ronnie Burrage (Drums)A session that can be seen as a modern field recording as the concert clearly shows the evolutionary steps that bring about the wonders of Creative Improvised Music. The 10 tracks, issued in the order in which they were played, are as instructive as they are enjoyable. A unique unfolding. Recorded January 5, 2000.
