Symbols Strings and MagicJimmy Bennington (Drums), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Ed Schuller (Bass)Jimmy Bennington's debut CIMP recording follows up his quartet sides with Perry Robinson on Cadence Jazz 1219. Bennington is an understated drummer-—in time or out he carefully listens and supports. This soulful and unhurried concert is arguably one of the finest displays of Perry's unique talents. Ed Schuller's full and supportive bass adds to the intimacy of this wonderful listening experience. A masterful display of restraint and potent focused improvising expression. Catalog Number: CIMP 344
Infinite PotentialLou Grassi (Drums, Percussion), Perry Robinson (Clarinet, Ocharina), David Taylor (Bass Trombone), Herb Robertson (Trumpet, Pocket Trumpet, Flugelhorn), Adam Lane (Bass)The 10th anniversary edition of the Po Band finds this veteran collective improvisation group in absolutely top form as it weaves whole cloth out of the threads from their individual minds and collective creativity that is vibrant in exposition and stunning in its conclusions. Recorded Sept.26 & 27, 2005Catalog Number: CIMP 262
ComPOsedLou Grassi (Drums), John Tchicai (Tenor Saxophone), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Art Baron (Trombone), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Wilber Morris (Bass)The latest from Lou Grassi's PoBand. This time the guest artist is John Tchicai. This concert by the PoBand is unique for a number of reasons (besides the always-fresh improvisations and presence of guest John Tchicai) in that, for the first time it deals with a compositional framework; Art Baron joins the band; and, sadly, this was the late Wilber Morris' last outing with the band that he helped establish in 1995. Thankfully, Wilber's spirit and voice (instrumentally and vocally) is well represented on the date. Eight wondrous cuts.Catalog Number: CIMP 227
The Joy of BeingLou Grassi (Drums), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Wilber Morris (Bass), Joseph Jarman (Flute)The PoBand strikes again, this time the guest is Joseph Jarman who shares this journey into the unknown but compelling world of inventive music. Recorded June 12 & 13, 2000.Catalog Number: CIMP 207
PoZestMarshall Allen (Alto Saxophone), Lou Grassi (Drums), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Wilber Morris (Bass)Sun Ra's legendary right hand alto man, Marshall Allen, meets Lou Grassi's PoBand in an extemporaneous musical outing that freely references everything from the late night blues to other galaxies. Recorded May 10 & 11, 1999.Catalog Number: CIMP 156
Mo' PoLou Grassi (Drums), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Herb Robertson (Cornet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Wilber Morris (Bass)One of the best free ensembles working today. The seven tracks range in length from under 3 to over 17 minutes in length. Out of nothing, substantial music is developed, remarkable fresh and free of fat and fill. It's what can happen in the hands of veterans well versed in the discipline of the art. No faking here. Recorded July 16 & 17, 1997.
