Loaded BassesLoaded BassesJoe Fonda (Bass), Claire Daly (Baritone Sax), Joe Daley (Tuba), Gebhard Ullmann (Bass Clarinet), Michael Rabinowitz (Bassoon), Gerry Hemingway (Drums)This all-star sextet helps bring to reality a "low-end" project that for years Joe Fonda had been conceptualizing. Everything (ensemble work, solo dynamics, the concept of the musical work) comes together in excellent fashion on a recording that Mr. Fonda states "...was one of the highlights of my musical life" and which the producer calls "...a most enjoyable evening." Recorded Sept. 15, 2005

Tuba ProjectTuba ProjectLucian Ban (Piano), Alex Harding (Baritone), J.D. Allen (Tenor), Bob Stewart (Tuba), Derrek Phillips (Drums)Prerelease press has already hailed this latest mixture of soul & savvy from the Ban & Harding juggernaut. It's the Tuba Project in reference to the inclusion of Bob Stewart, whose subtle shading and bottom work keeps things rolling throughout. As is usual with Ban & Harding, Tuba Project is an offering of fresh music to move and reward both the mind & soul. Recorded July 20, 2005.

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.
Catalog Number: CIMP 223
