Charles Gayle is one of the most powerful musicians I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. His uncompromising sound, energy, fury and spirituality make him a truly compelling figure. His music has gathered enormous accolades from an incredibly small circle of listeners (The Penguin Guide to Jazz deems his Touchin' on Trane an "essential recording"). Not only is there the music, there is the legend ... Charles Gayle, born February 28, 1939 in Buffalo, New York (USA), reportedly participated in the free jazz scene of the 1960s and early 1970s in NYC. From then until sometime in the mid-1980s, Gayle was often homeless; relegated to playing his tenor saxophone on the streets. The story of his homelessness and subsequent fame in jazz circles can be read as uplifting; a study in conviction, perserverence, faith and survival. While primarily known for his fiery sax work, in recent years he has returned to his first instrument, the piano. He has also experimented with the bass clarinet, the viola and drums on several of his albums. He has recorded with some of the best musicians in jazz: William Parker, Cecil Taylor, Rashied Ali, Sunny Murray and John Tchicai; and has been associated with alternative rockers Henry Rollins and Thurston Moore.
Reggie Workman has traversed a diverse and prestigious pathway in his 35+-year career, and is currently collaborating not only with the Summit Conference and Cerebral Caverns musicians but also with Mal Waldron, Cecil Taylor, Butch Morris, David Murray, and Marilyn Crispell, and with Oliver Lake and Andrew Cyrille in Trio 3. A music educator as well as a musician, he is a professor in and curriculum coordinator for the Jazz and Contemporary Music Program at New York's New School and conducts music education seminars nationally and internationally. "I have been fortunate," notes Workman, who grew up in Philadelphia and now lives in the New York City area, "to have collaborated with such great artists as Thelonious Monk, Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Yusef Lateef, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Wayne Shorter, Nina Simone, Alice Coltrane, Abbey Lincoln, Sonny Stitt, and -- very importantly -- with John Coltrane and the other members of his pioneering 1960's jazz group. I have truly enjoyed a fruitful experience in the world of music."
Andrew Cyrille, born in Brooklyn on November 10, 1939, studied with Philly Joe Jones in 1958 and then spent the first half of the 1960s studying in New York at Juilliard and the Hartnett School of Music. At the same time, he was performing with jazz artists ranging from Mary Lou Williams, Coleman Hawkins, and Illunois Jacquet to Kenny Dorham, Freddie Hubbard, Walt Dickerson, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, among others. He also played with Nigerian drummer Babtunde Olatunji and worked with dancers. In 1964 he formed what would prove to be an eleven-year association with Cecil Taylor, a gig that brought him new acclaim and established him in the vanguard of jazz drumming. Starting in 1969, Cyrille played in a number of percussion groups with notable drummers including Kenny Clarke, Milford Graves, Don Moye, Rashied Ali, Daniel Ponce, Michael Carvin, and Vladimir Tarasov. Cyrille formed his group Maono ("feelings") in 1975, with its fluid membership dictated by the forces his compositions called for rather than vice versa. Since leaving Taylor's group, he has also worked with such top-flight peers as David Murray, Muhal Richard Abrams, Mal Waldron, Horace Tapscott, James Newton, and Oliver Lake, was the drummer on Billy Bang's A Tribute to Stuff Smith (Soul Note 121216), notable for being the last studio session of Sun Ra. An artist-in-residence and teacher at Antioch College (Yellow Springs, Ohio) from 1971 to 1973, Cyrille has also taught at the Graham Windham Home for Children in New York and is currently a faculty member at the New School for Social Research in New York City. His sterling work has earned him a number of grants and awards, mostly notably from Meet the Composer. Additionally, he has an educational video available from Alchemy Pictures.
