MARCUS
ROBERTS

takes it all in stride
Quickly now, how many
jazz pianists have the creative
imagination and extraordinary
technique to play solo and
sustain a listener's interest? Art
Tatum and Oscar Peterson for
sure. Bill Evans and Joanne
Brackeen-absolutely.
Well, add to that list the
name of Marcus Roberts, a
29-year old blind pianist who
• rose to fame in 1985 when he
joined trumpeter Wynton
Marsalis's group. In the six
years he spent with that
ensemble, he left his indelible
mark on such Marsalis
recordings as J Mood, Marsalis
Standard Time Vol. 1, and Live
at Blues Alley.
Since leaving Wynton's
group, Roberts has released
four recordings under his own
name that further display his
awesome command of the
keyboard. His 1991 solo-piano
recital Alone With Three Giants
is an homage to the music of
Jelly Roll Morton, Duke
Ellington and Thelonious
Monk. Like its predecessors, it
topped the Billboard jazz charts

(marking the first time an artist's
first three albums achieved that
distinction).
With his current recording, As
Serenity Approaches, Marcus
continues to pay tribute to the greats
of jazz, exploring the galloping
stride style pioneered by James P.
Johnson and Fats Waller, while
always finding something new to
say. "To be a complete piano player,
you 've got to play stride", states
Roberts. "James P. Johnson used to
play for dances all night long, just as
himself. Today we have a concept of
solo piano that's more like cocktail
music."

Marcus Roberts has never
played cocktail music. He got his
start in Jacksonville, Florida where
his mother led the choir at the Silas
Missionary Church. At the age of 12
he heard his first jazz- some
Ellington on the radio--and about
the same time started taking formal
piano lessons. After graduating from
high school, Roberts spent four years
at Florida State University studying
with Russian pianist Leonidus
Lipovetsky, learning complex things
about tone production and developing power and resonance on the

piano. By then,
Wynton Marsalis
was an influence
on Roberts, who
was 17 when he
first heard the
trumpeter. By 1982
Marcus was
regularly engaging
Marsalis on the
phone in
philosphical
discussions about
the nature and
history of jazz. In
1985 pianist
Kenny Kirkland
left the Marsalis
group and Roberts
was asked to
replace him. The
rest, as they say, is
history.
As for the future, Roberts
plans to record more music
inspired by James P. Johnson and
Fats Waller, then turn to boogiewoogie greats Meade Lux Lewis
and Albert Ammons. From there,
he ' ll re-examine N:i.t "King"
Cole, Ahmad Jamal and Erroll
Garner. And of course, more

concert tours are in store for this
dynamic young performer. Last
year, Marcus Roberts played to a
sold-out house at the Vancouver
East Cultural Centre during the
Jazz Festival. On this occasion,
Roberts will work his solo magic
in the beautiful surroundings of St.
Andrew 's-Wesley Church. Amen!

One of the hottest bands on
eight legs, the Stellar Saxophone
Quartet was formed in 1990 by
composer/ baritone and tenor
saxophonist Coat Cooke. This
burning ensemble 's range of eclectic
material runs the gamut from
heartfelt ballads and incendiary jazz
compositions to funk and new music
pieces.
Over the past decade Cooke has
composed for groups ranging from
solo to 20 pieces, yet he had never
written for a sax quartet. He decided
to create one in order to hear his
ideas for this instrumentation come
to life. Besides his own compositions, on any given night you '11 hear
music by Arthur Blythe, Canadian
composers Frani,ois Houle and Rob
Frayne, or a traditional piece from
the repertoire of the Bulgarian State
Female Vocal Choir.
This is a dynamic and exciting
unit comprised of four of Vancouver's finest mu.sicians. Soprano
saxophonist/clarinetist Fram;ois
Houle is creating some of the most
provocative and contemporary
sounds in Canadian music. A gifted
and innovative composer holding
degrees from McGill and Yale
universities, he has received
numerous awards and scholarships
including the Montreal Debut
Competition and the Benny

Goodman Memorial scholarship
(Yale). Having performed all
over Canada, the U.S. and
Europe, Frani,ois was recently
featured with his ensemble Et
Cetera at the 1992 du Maurier
Ltd. International Jazz Festival
Vancouver and Musique
Actuelle in Victoriaville,
Quebec. His debut CD Hacienda
(Songlines) has received
international acclaim.
Baritone and tenor
saxophonist Daniel Kane has
appeared as a sideman with the

Gil Evans Orchestra, Freddy Stone
Ensemble, Hugh
Fraser Quintet,
Kenny Wheeler Big
Band and other
international artists.
On the Vancouver
scene, Daniel's
versatile approach to
music is much
appreciated and he
can be seen in as
many as 12 groups a
month playing
ethnic music, avant
garde jazz, bebop,
new music and
R&B. Daniel's
primary focus this
year has been multimedia collaborations with
theatre, dance, poetry and
performance art. Recent
highlights in Daniel's career
include a sold-out six-night run
at the 1992 du Maurier Ltd.
International Jazz Festival
Vancouver of the multi-media
spectacle BATS with Kokoro
Dance and his own group the
Kane-Taylor Explosion.
Alto saxophonist Bob
Walker performed extensively
with the B-Sides between 1980
and 1985. Since 1985 he has

FRI., FEB 12

worked with the acclaimed
Canadian dance troupe La La La,
the world music ensemble Club
Mango, and Coat Cooke and The
Evolution.
Leader Coat Cooke has been a
busy man since arriving in Vancouver from Winnipeg in 1975. He
helped co-found the New Orchestra
Workshop Society and was a
member of CORD Orchestra, and
Motion (with Paul Plimley, Clyde
Reed and Gregg Simpson). He also
co-leads Lunar Adventures, with
whom he has been touring and
recording since 1985. At the Time
Flies series in 1988 he composed
Paradigm Shift for the NOW
Orchestra featuring New York
pianist Marilyn Crispell. In 1990,
feeling the need to express his
"electric side", he formed Coat
Cooke and the Evolution, a ninepiece band mixing the influences of
Ornette Coleman, James Brown and
Ronald Shannon Jackson. Around
that same time, the Stellar Saxophone Quartet was born.
The Stellar Saxophone
Quartet promises "a rollicking
good time". Based on their
reputations it's a promise these four
gentlemen are sure to keep.

Kokoro Dance and the Kane
Taylor Explosion continue their
relationship of free-form jazz and
improvisational dance at the Pitt
Gallery. The two groups started
jamming together at the 1990 City on
the Edge project on the steps of the
Vancouver Art Gallery and subsequently had late night encounters at
the Glass Slipper which led to six
sold-out performances of Bats at the
Waterfront Theatre at the 1992 du
Maurier Ltd. International Jazz
Festival Vancouver. Bats was
described by Chris Dafoe of the Globe
and Mail as" .. .a fascinating and often
riveting piece of work" and Renee

called it " ... a fascinating trip to the

"Brady's putting out so
much work, so much of it good,
that you're bound to run into his
name again. " - Kyle Gann,
Village Voice (NYC)
Composer/guitarist Tim
Brady's musical vision encompasses chamber, orchestral, and
electroacoustic music, composition for dance and music theatre,
free improvisation and contemporary jazz.
He has
released six
critically acclaimed recordings, and has
worked with such
well-known jazz
artists as Gil
Evans, Kenny
Wheeler, John
Abercrombie,
John Surman,
Barre Phillips and
Pierre Tanguay .
His innovative
approach to the electric guitar has
led to three commissions from the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation among others, and guest
performances with the Canadian
Electronic Ensemble, !'ensemble
EMC2 and Espace Musique
(Ottawa), the Pittsburgh New
Music Ensemble, and concerts
with the American electronics
composer Nicolas Collins.
Tim ' s new CD Imaginary
Guitars (Justin Time) reveals the
power, intensity and diversity of
the electric guitar, challenging our
stereotypes of the instrument and
questioning our ideas on the future
of new music. Each work on this
new release explores a different
approach to the el ectric guitar,
from the orchestral Symphony in
Two Parts to the intimate Time
Lapse Exposure; from Alain
Thibault's rock-driven Incertitude
pourpre to Rene Lussier' s text-

based Roche noire (chronique
irlandaise). Paul Dolden 's Physics
of Seductions; Invocation # 1 and
Brady's Imaginary Guitars
combine electroacoustic tape
music with virtuoso guitar solos,
while Dead of Winter uses live
electronics to create a series of
haunting and expressive sonic
images.
Throughout the CD, the
barriers between rock, jazz,
electronic and
contemporary
music are
shattered,
extended and
re-drawn.
Brady's goal is
to create a new
music of
inclusion,
drawing freely
on the diversity
of contemporary music,
rather than from
narrowly-defined categories.
In his solo Vancouver
performance Brady will play a
series of pieces for electric guitar,
live electronics and tape; his own
works, plus pieces by other
Canadian composers and by some
of Europe ' s most exciting young
composers. The North American
leg of the tour starts in February
with the premiere of Brady ' s new
work Loud for electric guitar and
orchestra, commissioned by the
Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
for their second annual New
Music Festival. It continues with
shows in Regina, Calgary,
Edmonton, Vancouver and
Toronto as well as a variety of
American concerts. The Imaginary
Guitars tour ends in late March
with two solo concerts in Spain.
Don't miss the Vancouver date!

SPLATTER
trio

--------------------

"They plunder ethnic music, free jazz, classical composition,
and speed-metal rock with exhilarating abandon." - Boston Phoenix
"Seeing our band perform is like watching an artist complete a
painting on a canvas," explains Splatter Trio's guitarist and bassist
Myles Boisen to the San Francisco Weekly. "Part of the .i.ppeal in
watching our band is that you see us creating our art in front of you
rather than offering prepackaged music. We're presenting an alternative
to preprogrammed musical experiences."
After five years of performing and recording, this Bay Area group
continues to be unpredictable, surprising and funny. Their second
recording Anagrams (Ratascan) reflects the band's philosophy of
playing music that allows for an uninhibited flow of ideas. There are
angular sax blasts, bluesy shuffles, percussive explosions and bass
excursions, splintered guitar chords, melodic sax runs and tender
marimba voicings, moody saxophone nocturnes, sinewy tangos and
primal scream pandemonium, lending each improvisation an off-thewall flavour.
Although influenced very much by Thelonious Monk, Charles
Mingus, Anthony Braxton and Ornette Coleman as well as by the
Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Burt Bacharach, Splatter
Trio ' s music simply defies categorization. Is it jazz? Free jazz? They
contend that it is neither, although there are elements of each in the
music. There are also classical influences, ethnic music leanings and
power-packed rock forays. Percussionist/drummer Gino Robair simply
calls what the trio does "structured improvisation".
The three members trace the beginnings of the Splatter Trio to
1987 when Boisen and Robair performed in San Francisco as members
of John Zorn ' s Cobra Ensemble with Zorn and the ROYA Saxophone
Quartet. Multi-saxophonist Dave Barrett, a member of the Club Foot
Orchestra at that time, caught the show and was impressed. Robair had
been studying with Braxton, David Rosenbloom, and other leaders of
"new music" at Mills College, and double-necked guitarist and bassist
Boisen, who describes his roots as "suburban rock", had been playing
with such Bay Area groups as Beach Ogres and Hard Grind. Both
agreed to join Barrett and set off on what they still call their "fearless
musical exploration of the full spectrum of the twentieth century
soundscape." Splatter have an easy-going off-beat quality that makes
them incredibly entertaining. Check out one of the West Coast's top
improv groups.

" ... Houle's clarinet chops are most formidable: weird

The Fran~ois Houle 4, comprised of the internationally acclaimed
Et Cetera rhythm section plus its leader, are set to greet the arrival of
spring with a set of new original compositions in addition to Houle's
ongoing tribute to the masters of the straight horns (John Carter, Jimmy Giuffre,
Steve Lacy, etc.). This is a unit that thrives on the great diversity of styles that define the contemporary
jazz quartet.
Composer, clarinetist and soprano saxophonist Frarn;;ois Houle is creating some of the most
provocative and contemporary sounds in Canadian music. A gifted and innovative composer holding
degrees from McGill and Yale universities, Frani;ois has worked extensively at the Banff School for the
Arts with some of the world's leading composers and

performing artists, and he has performed at festivals

Bugs Inside was formed in
early 1992 by guitarist Tony
Wilson to develop the concept of
melding music and poetry into an
accessible, dynamic art form. The
band touches on many musical
sty Jes such as jazz, reggae,
klezmer, country, pop, thrash, and
more. Influenced by John Zorn
and Ornette Coleman's electric
band, the ensemble explores a
unique sound based on original
compositions and poetry. Their
repertoire also includes works by
Zorn, Coleman, Captain Beefheart
and Thelonious Monk.
Wilson cites Bill Frisell as a
prime inspirational source. "I
think Bill is highly original; his
playing is sparse-not a lot of
notes, just the good ones." On the

subject of his
10-piece group
he says, "I like
the idea of two
drummers, two
guitarists and
two sax
players. At any
given time one
drummer, one
guitarist and
one saxophonist can lay
down a steady
musical pattern
while the other
three are free
to improvise
on top. The
cello is also

of some of the

Tribal Dynamics, a group
from the ancient future, is a
recently formed ensemble
conceived by drummer/composer
and visual artist Gregg Simpson.
Drawing on his interests in the
music and culture of the ancient
world Simpson has woven
together a combination of his own
original pieces and indigenous
world music. The resulting
tapestry combines Mayan, Berber
and Simpson's Celtic-tinged songs
into an organic fusion that evokes
primal ancestral worlds.
The group, which features the
hot reeds of Fran~ois Houle and
Daniel Kane, the churning drones
of Ralph Eppel and Brad
Muirhead's trombones over
Clyde Reed's bass and Gregg
Simpson's high energy rhythmic
invention, has kept audiences
reelin' (and jiggin') in their 1992
concerts at the Glass Slipper.
There are plans to record in the
near future, and in the spring of

LOOKING AHEAD

1993 a
collaboration
will begin with
the Jennifer
Mascall Dance
Company.
Simpson
has had many
collaborations
with the
current
members of
his group over
the years; with
Eppel in the New Orchestra
Quintet, E.S.B., and the Ralph
Eppel Quintet, with Kane in a new
trio with Victoria bassist James
Young (who alternates occasionally with Reed as the Tribal
Dynamics bassist), with Reed in a
variety of groups going back to the
1974 Sunship Ensemble and most
recently Lunar Adventures, with
Muirhead in the NOW orchestra
and as a sousaphone substitute for

bassist Reed in Lunar Adventures, and with Houle in the Coat
Cooke Quintet and the NOW
Orchestra.
Simpson himself traces his
roots back to early gigs with
Frank Foster, Chris Gage, Flip
Nunez and Jack Wilson, sessions
with the legendary Philly Joe
Jones, and a five year close
collaboration with Al Neil. He
has been part of many groups in

Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal
over the 20 years since he worked
with Neil. These include the
Vancouver Sound Ensemble, Rio
Bumba, Paul Cram Trio, Paul
Plimley Trio and the Vancouver
Art Trio. He has also played with
international artists John Tchicai,
Peter Brotzmann, Marilyn
Crispell, Vinny Golia, Karl Berger
and Gunter Christmann, while
opening with his own groups for
Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett,
Michael Brecker, Oliver Lake,
Craig Harris and Andrew Cyrille.
He has worked with Montrealers
like Jean Derome, Robert Leriche
and Lisle Ellis. Simpson currently
plays in a hard bop quartet led by
saxophonist Henry Boudin that
recorded for the CBC French
network in December.
Simpson can be heard on
numerous recordings, including
three recent CDs produced by
Vancouver's New Orchestra
Workshop on the Nine Winds
label.
