Biographical details about the artists follow below.\n_______________________ \nFrom Harvey Sorgen’s website: \n“In sound\, motion and beauty….so to lays the groundwork for truth. All that I am becomes a part of my own way of communication. In striving for a lifestyle unfettered by my own limitations\, I am eternally grateful to have created honest music with some of the greatest artists of our time. It’s almost like I have to pinch myself sometimes to not forget how fortunate I am to have the love of my family\, and the spirit to be open to what may appear to be right in front of me!! \nJust a very few of the artists I have had the great fortune to record and/or perform with include: \nHot Tuna\, Ahmad Jamal\, Ted Dunbar\, Michelle Shocked\, Paul Simon\, Dewey Redman\, Frank Kimbrough\, Dave Douglas\, David Sancious\, Mark Feldman\, Karl Berger\, Joe Mcphee\, Julius Hemphill \, Connie Bauer\, Pete Levin\, John Lindberg\, Zakir Hussain\, Giovanni Hildago\, Wadada Leo Smith\, Peter Herbert\, Cameron Brown\, Steve Swell\, Neil Rolnick\, Anthony Braxton\, Carter Jefferson\, John Stubblefield\, Bruce Hornsby\, Brenda Buffalino\, Jay Anderson\, Istvan Grenesco\, Honi Coles\, Daunik Lazro\, Todd Reynolds\, Derrick Trucks\, Jimmy Heath\, Percy Heath\, Roswell Rudd\, Phil Lesh\, David Torn\, Levon Helm\, The Memphis Pilgrims\, Bill Frisell\, Fonda/Stevens group\, Herb Robertson\, Carlos Santana\, Omar Tamez\, Remi Alvarez\, Dry Jack\, Art Lande\, John d’Earth\, Bob Weir\, Greg Allman\, Marcel Monroe\, The Mallards\, Sorgen-Rust-Windbiel trio\, Jack DeJohnette\, Dave Samuels\, Drew Gress\, Tony Levin\, Garth Hudson\, Jimmy Vivino\, amongst many\, many others.\nI have also written and performed pieces for film and the stage\, including a solo percussion piece for the New Day Repertoire Theater’s version of “Antigone”. \nOne aspect of my joy has been in the workshops I give around the world in jazz ensembles\, improvisation\, percussion master classes and audio production. Some of these include: \nUniversity of Michigan – Jazz and Improvisation Dept. – Ed Sarath\, director Virginia Commonwealth University – Jazz Dept. – Antonio Garcia\, Director Schnittpunke Festival – Rudersdorf\, Austria – Udo Preis\, Director Jazz Initiative Marburg – Marburg\, Germany – Roman Kloecker\, Director Carre Blue – Poiters\, France – Bernard Aimee\, Director Onteora Central School District – Boiceville\, N.Y. – Steven Murphy\, Director Charles City Arts Council – Charles City\, Va. – Julie Boyd\, Director Naropa Institute – Boulder\, Co. – in collaboration with Allan Ginsberg Jackson Field Home for Girls – Emporia\, Va. – Donna Waldron\, Director Numerous in- store clinics and private lessons throughout the U.S. and Europe. Recipient of New York State “Meet the Composer” and NYSCA grants.\nI have also been interviewed in many publications including: Modern Drummer\, DRUM!\, Down Beat\, All About Jazz\, Jazz Podium (Germany)\, and Jazz Halo (Belgium). \nThrough Dreamland Recording Studio and freelance work\, I have had the great pleasure to be involved in many great recording projects as an engineer and editor. One of my favorite projects was to remaster the entire ESP record label. My first instructional DVD ” Drumming Made Easy ” is currently available worldwide from Homespun Tapes Inc. / Hal Leonard publishing. I also appear on Jack DeJohnette’s ” Musical Expression On The Drum Set” and Jorma Kaukonen’s ” The Electric Guitar Of Jorma Kaukonen” \n_______________________ \nBorn in 1951 in New Jersey\, he began to play trumpet at age ten in his elementary school’s fifth grade class. He was introduced to jazz two years later by his junior high school music teacher\, who turned him on to the music and recordings of Miles Davis\, Donald Byrd\, Freddie Hubbard and other great jazz trumpeters. In his early teens\, Robertson began collecting jazz and classical records\, intensely listening to and absorbing all styles\, from Louis Armstrong to the avant-garde\, with special emphasis on the era’s hard-bop style of jazz. In high school he led a quintet that played dances and specialty concerts. After high school\, during the years 1969-73\, he attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston as an instrumental performance major\, a period in which his improvisational skills became highly developed. In 1973 he left Berklee to go on the road in Canada as a lead trumpeter with various jazz-rock cover bands. \nIn 1975 Herb Robertson had to quit playing music for a short time when the strain of performing nightly in loud jazz-rock bands caused him to temporarily lose his trumpet chops. Robertson altered his playing style\, becoming a more lyrical and explorative artist. In 1976 he started a rehearsal big band\, while also playing in smaller ensembles with some of the more creative avant-garde musicians of New Jersey. He then met alto saxophonist Tim Berne in the late 1970s where he first gained attention for his playing with Berne’s groups during the years 1981-87. His lyricism\, tonal distortions and use of mutes looked back to jazz’s past\, while his freer improvising was quite futuristic\, fitting in very well with Berne’s music and passionate alto playing. During this period he also became a member of long time collaborator and bassist Mark Helias’ groups. \nRobertson recorded his initial leader album in 1985\, and has since appeared on over 100 recording projects. As a leader he began putting together his own adventurous bands in 1986 and has recorded for the JMT\, Splasc(h)\, Clean Feed\, Leo\, Nottwo\, CIMP and Cadence labels. His groups since 1987 include The Double Infinitives\, the Herb Robertson Brass Ensemble\, The NY Downtown All-stars and various groups with Dominic Duval\, Jay Rosen\, Paul Smoker and Phil Haynes. He has worked with many of the major names of the avant-garde and modern mainstream jazz including Anthony Davis\, Bobby Previte\, David Sanborn\, George Gruntz\, Bill Frisell\, Paul Motian\, Dave Ballou\, Lou Grassi’s Po’ Band\, The Fonda-Stevens Group\, Nexus\, The London Jazz Composers’ Orchestra\, Barry Guy’s New Orchestra\, Michael Moore\, Terry Jenoure\, Andy Laster\, Joe Lovano\, Judi Silvano\, John Lindberg\, Gerry Hemingway\, Zlatko Kaucic\, the Satoko Fujii big band\, Marc Ducret\, Simon Nabatov\, Mark Feldman\, Steve Swell\, Pierre Dorge’s New Jungle Orchestra\, Mark Solborg\, John Zorn\, Phil Haynes\, Paul Smoker\, Roswell Rudd\, Jim Yanda\, Elliot Sharpe\, the Klaus Konig Orchestra\, Rashied Ali\, Ray Anderson\, Paul Motian\, Dewey Redman\, Evan Parker\, Agusti Fernandez\, Jean-Luc Cappozzo\, Frank Gratkowski\, Simon Nabatov\, Michiel Braam\, Matthias Schubert\, Mark Dresser\, the Charlie Haden Music Liberation Orchestra\, Satoko Fugii\, Wilbert De Joode\, Wolter Wierbos … among many others. He has been cited as an important influence by trumpeter Dave Douglas. Herb Robertson\, who has composed music for dance\, theater and documentary films\, also plays valve trombone\, tuba\, the Eb alto horn and “little instruments” and has performed at almost all European\, American and Canadian festivals and American jazz clubs. \nIn 2005\, he\, along with Dr. Ana Isabel Ordonez\, started their own record label to promote avant-garde jazz and new music in its most extreme forms. Both Herb Robertson and Ana Isabel Ordonez became business partners and named the company Ruby Flower Records\, releasing some great new music recordings. Herb Robertson left the company in 2009 to concentrate more on his own personal creative endeavors. Whether it’s complex large group arrangements or free form duets\, Herb Robertson brings his wide knowledge of jazz history along with his original voice and adventurous spirit to each session.\n_______________________ \nKen Filiano performs throughout the world\, playing and recording with leading artists in jazz\, spontaneous improvisation\, classical\, world/ethnic\, and interdisciplinary performance\, fusing the rich traditions of the double bass with his own seemingly limitless inventiveness. Ken’s solo bass CD\, subvenire (NineWinds)\, received widespread critical praise. For this and numerous other recordings\, Ken has been called a creative virtuoso\, a master of technique … a paradigm of that type of artist… who can play anything in any context and make it work\, simply because he puts the music first and leaves peripheral considerations behind. \nKen composes for his quartet with Michael Attias\, Tony Malaby\, and Michael T.A. Thomspon; a collective with Attias and Tomas Ulrich; and for his decades-long collaborations with Steve Adams and Vinny Golia. His prolific output also includes performances and/or recordings with artists including Bonnie Barnett\, Rob Blakeslee\, Bobby Bradford\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, Roy Campbell\, John Carter\, Nels Cline\, Alex Cline\, Connie Crothers\, Mark Dresser\, Ted Dunbar\, Marty Ehrlich\, Giora Feidman\, Bob Feldman\, Eddie Gale\, Georgian Chamber Orchestra\, Dennis Gonzalez\, Lou Grassi\, Phil Haynes\, Fred Hess\, Jason Hwang\, Joseph Jarman\, Sheila Jordan (with the Aardvark Orchestra)\, Raul Juarena\, Joe Labarbera\, Joelle Leandre\, Frank London\, Manhattan Chamber Orchestra\, Tina Marsh\, Warne Marsh\, Dom Minasi\, Hafez Modirzadeh\, Butch Morris\, Barre Phillips\, Don Preston\, Herb Robertson\, Bob Rodriguez\, Roswell Rudd\, ROVA Saxophone Quartet\, Ursel Schlicht\, Paul Smoker\, Chris Sullivan\, Peeter Uuskyla\, Fay Victor\, Biggi Vinkeloe\, Kenny Wessel\, Andrea Wolper\, Pablo Ziegler. With Tomas Ulrich\, Elliott Sharp\, and Carlos Zingaro\, he is a member of T.E.C.K. String Quartet. \nKen has been a guest lecturer\, performer\, and workshop leader at institutions in the United States and Europe. He earned a MM from Rutgers University and is currently on faculty at Mansfield University. \n
