CamoflageCamoflageSteve Lehman (Alto Saxophone), Roy Campbell, Jr. (Trumpet), Kevin O'Neil (Electric Guitar), John Hebert (Acoustic Bass), Kevin Norton (Percussion)This is Volume 2 of the impressive debut from saxman Steve Lehman and his quintet: Volume 2, not leftovers; you know CIMP would never compromise the music. In this case, it is music out of the Jackie McLean – Anthony Braxton tradition, but roots, not retreads. Recorded May 14 & 15, 2001.
Catalog Number: CIMP 245
Structural FireStructural FireSteve Lehman (Alto Saxophone), Roy Campbell, Jr. (Trumpet), Kevin O'Neil (Electric Guitar), John Hebert (Acoustic Bass), Kevin Norton (Percussion)Steve Lehman is atypical of most CIMP artists in that he is young but typical in that he has a clear understanding of what he wants to express. A student of both Jackie McLean and Anthony Braxton, he leads a hard blowing set of notable originals and a refreshing visit into the land of 21st century hard bop. Recorded May 14 & 15, 2001.

MuralMuralBruce Eisenbeil (Electric Guitar), J. Brunka (Bass), Ryan Sawyer (Drums)Bruce Eisenbeil's music builds from enharmonic clusters into larger harmonies, from discord that becomes one with the whole, from the seemingly random that unveils a logic, producing music ranging from high abstraction to vivid imagery. Recorded February 11 & 12, 1999.
Catalog Number: CIMP 158
Today's BluesToday's BluesArthur Blythe (Alto Saxophone), David Eyges (Electric Cello)A side of Arthur Blythe and David Eyges never heard before. A program of 16 originals which explore what might be called the folk blues form. Catchy, rhythmic, and searching, it's a wonderful juxtaposition of lightness of spirit and depth of soul. Recorded August 11 & 12, 1998.
Catalog Number: CIMP 117
