Recorded live at the Moonwalker Club, Aarburg, Switzerland on May 1, 1992. Includes liner notes by Lester Bowie.
This warm and blistering set by Lester Bowie's 10-piece Brass Fantasy--four trumpets, two trombones, one French horn, a tuba, and two sets of percussion--was recorded live in Switzerland in 1992. The compositions, which are punctuated with graceful, occasionally humorous solos, touch on the full breadth of Bowie's and the ensemble's interests and skills. For instance, a pair of songs by Michael Jackson shows the ensemble's interest in contemporary pop. There're also Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Three for the Festival" and Jimmie Lunceford's "Siesta for the Fiesta." "For Louis," by Phillip Wilson (to whom the album is dedicated) is another well-suited and finely executed piece. The show closes with "The Great Pretender," one of Brass Fantasy's signature numbers.
Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy: Lester Bowie, E.J. Allen, Gerald Brazel, Tony Barrero (trumpet); Frank Lacy, Louis Bonilla (trombone); Vincent Chancey (French horn); Bob Stewart (tuba); Vinnie Johnson (drums); Famoudou Don Moye (percussion).Entertainment Weekly (6/16/95, p.61) - "...Here's the gloriously fat, ringing tone of one of the foremost trumpeters of our time, leading a swaggering 10-piece band....they understand better than many of today's solemn young lions the fun and impudence that helped define jazz."
- Rating: A-
Q (7/93, p.87) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...[the CD was] recorded live in Switzerland the day after the LA riots, and is fired with righteous anger, a rare emotion to hear from a tuba and French horn..."
Down Beat (10/95, pp.46-47) - 4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...It is exceedingly pleasurable to listen to a band loaded with confidence and capable of shifting easily from mood to mood....THE FIRE THIS TIME is a five-alarmer, packed with red-hot moments."
Option (9-10/95, p.99) - "...The Brass Fantasy's music is not only powerful but highly entertaining, and Bowie puts on a jazz clinic as he draws from Dixieland, rhythm & blues, and the big band charts of Ellington and Basie..." Fire This Time Review

A smoothly soulful, down-tempo, after-hours set featuring Curtis Mayfield samples, old-school R&B grooves, and silkily persuasive vocals from this Long Beach-based singer, who conjures memories of Teddy, Luther, and Marvin while bringing his own idiosyncratic style to the art of musical seduction.
After having worked with Warren G on a remake of “Let’s Get It On” for a Motown records “Marvin Gaye tribute” album, that unfortunately never saw the light of day, Long Beach vocalist, Demo, is singing about his own Inner City Blues on his debut project “Soul Power ”. “Soul Power ”, is a sweet melt down of the soul that has Demo masterfully transforming life’s transgressions and dilemmas into a melodic testimony. As a singer/songwriter, his lyrics express the raw honesty and emotion felt in his rich vocals as he sings of the perils of love, life and inner-city living. “When I write, I do it from the perspective of the listener”, says Demo. “If you can’t write music that people can feel and relate to then no one is going to listen. I want all my fans to know that everything I write is for them, so they can feel it and relate to it.” Born the son of a musician, Demo’s music ability comes naturally. Constantly playing the bass, guitar, keyboards and making beats on projects for friends is what earned him the name Demo. “When I used to work at VIP records,” he explains, “My boy Scotty B, who was a local dj, said that since I was able to play so many instruments and do so many different things I was like a walking demo, so he started calling me that, and the name stuck.” With musical influences that range from Lionel Richie, Donny Hathaway and Gospel great, Fred Hammond, to Toto and the Doobie Brothers, Demo’s ...
