    Fab Faux Meet the Beatles New York combo is the greatest Beatles cover band – without the wigs Not your average cover band Photo by: Josh Rothstein One day in early 1998, Jimmy Vivino, guitarist and arranger for the Max Weinberg 7, the house band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, ran into his neighbor Will Lee, bassist for Paul Shaffer's CBS Orchestra on Late Show With David Letterman, in the elevator of their Manhattan apartment building. "We were going to our shows," Vivino says, "and Will goes, 'Hey, I'm starting a Beatles cover band.' The first thing I said was 'Why? There are plenty of Beatles tribute bands out there.'" "Then I realized he was serious," Vivino recalls. "He said, 'I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart. I'm talking about playing the Beatles' songs and records live, as perfectly as we can.' I said, 'Without the wigs?'" Lee's reply was quick: "Sure." Seven years later, the Fab Faux -- Lee, Vivino, guitarist Frank Agnello, drummer Rich Pagano and multi-instrumentalist Jack Petruzzelli, all of whom sing lead and harmony vocals -- are the most accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business. Since debuting at New York's China Club in May 1998, the Fab Faux have mastered and played more than 160 of the 211 songs in the official canon -- according to Agnello, the Faux's resident Beatles statistician -- and most are complex hits and post-'65 LP tracks the Beatles never performed in concert.

  • PEDRITO MARTINEZ Biography 2014
    PEDRITO MARTINEZ Biography 2014 “Since arriving in the United States, Cuban percussionist [Pedrito] Martinez has been all over the place, putting rumba and guaguancó into the weave of all kinds of groups […] when his drums, singing and writing are the focus – as is the case in his new band – he’s an incomparable performer.” - The New York Times The Pedrito Martinez Group has its roots planted firmly in the Afro-Cuban Rumba tradition and in the bata rhythms and vocal chants of the music of Yoruba and Santeria. Ben Ratliff summed it up aptly for the New York Times calling it, “complex, blenderized Africa-to-the-New-World funk.” Since its formation in the current lineup in 2008, the Pedrito Martinez group has developed into an extraordinarily tight and creative unit with a home base gig in Midtown Manhattan at Guantanamera. They have built a fan base that includes Steve Gadd, Ravi Coltrane, Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton, John Scofield, Roger Waters, Derek Trucks, Herlin Riley, and Will Lee. Pedrito Martinez was born in Havana, Cuba, Sept 12, 1973. He began his musical career at the age of 11, performing as vocalist and percussionist playing with such Cuban legends as Tata Güines, Muñequitos de Matanzas. In 1998 he was brought to Canada by Jane Bunnett, to tour with her group, Spirits of Havana. His decision to remain in North America to pursue his career, proved to be an auspicious one when, two years later, the annual Thelonious Monk Institute Competition showcased Afro-Latin Hand Drumming for the first time ever; he entered and won first place.

  • Randy Brecker Biography
    Randy Brecker Biography Website: http://www.randybrecker.com/ Email:" [email protected] Jazz trumpeter and composer Randy Brecker has helped shape the sound of jazz, R&B and rock for more than four decades. His trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament/Funkadelic to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, Jaco Pastorius and Frank Zappa. Born in 1945 in Philadelphia to a musical family, Randy's musical talent was nurtured from an early age. He attended Indiana University from 1963-66 studying with Bill Adam, David Baker and Jerry Coker and later moved to New York where he landed gigs with such prominent bands as Clark Terry's Big Bad Band, the Duke Pearson Big Band and the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra. In 1967, Randy ventured into jazz-rock with the band Blood, Sweat and Tears, but left to join the Horace Silver Quintet. He recorded his first solo album, 'Score', in 1968, featuring a young, then unknown 19 year-old tenor saxophonist named Michael Brecker. After Horace Silver, Randy joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers before teaming up with brother Michael, Barry Rogers, Billy Cobham, and John Abercrombie to form the seminal fusion group 'Dreams'. The group recorded two adventurous and wildly acclaimed albums: 'Dreams' and 'Imagine My Surprise' - now collector's items - for Columbia Records before they disbanded in 1971. In the early 1970s, Randy performed live with many prominent artists including Larry Coryell’s Eleventh House, Stevie Wonder and Billy Cobham. He also recorded several classic albums with his brother under the leadership of the great pianist/composer Hal Galper.

  • Randy Brecker Reviews Website: Email: [email protected]
    Randy Brecker Reviews Website: http://www.randybrecker.com Email: [email protected] REVIEWS OF "THE BRECKER BROTHERS BAND REUNION" RANDY BRECKER/Brecker Brothers Band Reunion ***** (5 stars) By Mark Gilbert, Jazz Journal, December 2013 What’s remarkable here, as so often, is Brecker’s compositional genius, and the energy and sheer hard work that must go into these magnificent edifices of aural architecture, viz. the labyrinthine paths described by the various sections and transitions of First Tune, from full-on Brownian funk and screaming rock, to a cool samba sequence for solos. Also remarkable is the power of the soloists on this opening track, not the least Mike Stern, who seems to play some new lines and inject a burning new vitality into familiar ones. Brecker has his formulae too, no doubt, but as a soloist the lines have lost none of their grace and intelligence and the signature harmonic and melodic intelligence of his compositions, never ceases to intrigue and amaze. George Whitty, producing mastermind, has a witty (!) Moogish solo on First Tune, which perhaps underlines the retrospective dimension of this set. Followers with recognize in the personnel a pantheon of Brecker Brothers names going back a bit. It’s not complete, but old hands Sanborn and Lee reach back nearly four decades. Randy explains that the original BB Band (1975) was going to be the Randy Brecker Band but producer Steve Backer said “If you call this band the Brecker Brothers, I’ll sign you tomorrow.” The Randy/BB dichotomy resurfaces here, and rightly, since mostly in the BB and here entirely Randy did the writing and was far away the major writing force.

    HHIIRRAAMM BBUULLLLOOCCKK TOO FFUUNNKKYY 22 IGNORE BHM 1010-2 Over the course of his career -- from his mid ‘70s run with The Brecker Brothers to his various stints as a“hired gun” for everyone from Gil Evans, Carla Bley and David Sanborn to Michael Franks and Miles Davis -- Hiram Bullock earned his reputation as a bona fide guitar hero. But all along, Bullock has also been developing his skills as a songwriter. Too Funky 2 Ignore demonstrates just how accomplished he has become at the craft. “I think I’ve gotten better at it as I’ve been doing it,” says the charismatic Guitar Man. While the funk quotient on Bullock’s 12th recording as a leader is off the charts and the album is chockfull of blistering, Hendrixian guitar licks, Too Funky 2 Ignore also showcases Hiram’s adeptness at meticulously layering track upon track in the studio in a Steely Dan-ish vein. “I have actually consciously focused on that craft,” says the guitarist-producer. “And part of what allowed me to do that was getting a studio of my own. The technology has increased to the point where now a regular person can have a studio at home. And because of that, I can cut a track and then sit with it for months if I need to -- rework a lyric or work on backing vocals and rhythm guitar parts.
