Music Degree ZeroMusic Degree ZeroAdam Lane (Bass), Vinny Golia (Saxophone), Vijay Anderson (Drums)Here is the mate to CIMP 325 and—lest there be any—all doubts will be squelched by the power and strength of this trio. The accolades were universal in their comments on the excitement and power this trio generated on the session's first release. This is its complement and is in every way equal to the first volume. Hot and intense, this is a Jazz power trio. Recorded Feb. 24&25, 2005.

Zero Degree MusicZero Degree MusicAdam Lane (Bass), Vinny Golia (Soprano&Tenor Saxophones), Vijay Anderson (Drums)Adam Lane has quickly established himself as a musician of depth and quality through a small but exceptional group of recordings. And here is another outstanding effort. This is not just a trio: it is three well integrated artists playing music that will satisfy the most demanding listeners. And for fans of Vinny Golia, this is arguably some of his most dynamic sax playing on record. Recorded February 24 & 25, 2005.
Catalog Number: CIMP 218
Brooklyn-BerlinBrooklyn-BerlinPhil Haynes (Drums), Herb Robertson (Cornet), Ned Rothenberg (Bass Clarinet), Vinny Golia (Clarinet), Ken Filiano (Bass)Original music, by Robertson and Haynes, presented especially for this occasion. Music which will continue to reward repeated listening, not out of familiarity or a reliance on tried and true cliché, but out of the richness of its structure and invention. Recorded Feb. 28 & 29, 2000.
Catalog Number: CIMP 211
Canticles for the New MillenniumCanticles for the New MillenniumJay Rosen (Drums), Vinny Golia (Clarinet), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Mark Whitecage (Moosecall)Jay Rosen, sensitive and dynamic drummer on many fine CIMP sessions, steps out for his debut as a leader and it's impressive. Leading a bassless quartet made up of some of today's most dymnamic players, he not only lifts and drives some intense music but manages to integrate his dynamics in both a supportive and take-charge way. Rosen with Golia, Smoker, and Whitecage: a gutsy move with wondrous results. Recorded Sept. 1 & 2, 1999.
