Isms OutBurton Greene (Piano), Roy Campbell (Trumpets), Adam Lane (Bass), Lou Grassi (Drums)Playing the music of Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Ali Akbar Khan, and its own originals, the Burton Greene-Roy Campbell 4tet goes pretty straight ahead but without compromise as four strong instrumental voices document their music following an East Coast tour. The expressions and themes are exceptional. It's been almost two decades since Burton recorded in quartet and over 30 years since he recorded with trumpet. This is Roy's first recording with Burton. Recorded June 29, 2004.Catalog Number: CIMP 300
JaloluHarris Eisenstadt (Drums), Andy Laster (Clarinet, Baritone Saxophone), Roy Campbell (Trumpet, Pocket Trumpet, Flugelhorn), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Taylor Ho Bynum (Cornet)Perhaps this material might be thought of as composition: improvised composition or structured instant composition. The leader mapped out this session for close to a year before its formal execution, and the results are both quirky and comfortable. Recorded Oct. 27 & 28, 2003Catalog Number: CIMP 292
Steve Swell's Suite for Players, Listeners and other DreamersSteve Swell (Trombone), Will Connell (Alto Sax, Flute, Bass Clarinet), Roy Campbell (Trumpet, Flute), Charles Burnham (Violin), Francois Grillot (Bass), Kevin Norton (Percussion)Over the 8 years Steve Swell has been recording for CIMP, he has produced a little less than a dozen projects, all of them distinct and purposeful. This latest effort may be his most ambitious to date, a large scale work that retains the intimacy and personality of a smaller work with the power and impact of the larger concept. A solid statement from a trombonist now considered to be a major talent on the post Bop, creative improvised music scene. Recorded July 16 & 17, 2003.Catalog Number: CIMP 280
The Dream Catcher (for Wilber Morris)Kevin Norton (Drums, Vibes), Roy Campbell (Trumpet, Flugelhorn), Thomas Ulrich (Cello), Hill Greene (Bass)Four master improvisers meet to pay tribute to Wilber Morris on a set of exceptional originals by Kevin Norton and Wilber Morris. Mellow and lyrical/hard-blowing and lyrical, this is a heart-felt and musically memorable set of music for brass, strings, and percussion. A date with real definition. Recorded January 6 & 7, 2003, The Spirit Room, Rossie, NY.Catalog Number: CIMP 267
Balafon DanceKhan Jamal (Vibes), Jemeel Moondoc (Alto Saxophone), Roy Campbell (Trumpet), Dylan Taylor (Bass), Dwight James (Drums)Khan reunites with a group of old friends and colleagues on this remarkable session of composition and energy. Khan Jamal is one of the most distinctive voices in creative music in both sound and compositional substance. This is his first recording in 5 years and only his second in 13. He's careful and deliberate about his music but presents for the listener finished, fully-formed, and wonderfully listenable adventures in music. This concert offers music accessible to a broad range of tastes but remains always uncompromising in its delivery and statement. Recorded March 18 & 19, 2002.Catalog Number: CIMP 229
Re-entryYuko Fujiyama (Piano), Roy Campbell (Trumpet), Wilber Morris (Bass), Reggie Nicholson (Drums), Robert Rusch (Voice)CIMP revisits Ms. Fujiyama who moves closer into the so-called jazz idiom while retaining her special touch and Japanese roots. Recorded August 1, 2000.Catalog Number: CIMP 166
The KickerEhran Elisha (Drums), Roy Campbell (Trumpet), David Bindman (Tenor Saxophone), Sam Bardfeld (Violin), Wilber Morris (Bass)The Ehran Elisha group presents a dense conceptual brand of improvising music which is as powerful for all of its individual statements as it is for the totality of its design. The Kicker is a 4 part intense structural free improv which can take your breath away. Recorded Feb. 12, 1998.
