| | Story Of Vektor CD Vektor Discography of CDs
The story of Vektor is a compilation of recordings from the 80's featuring the band Vektor, and it is jazz in the sense that jazz is the stuff which toys with convention. Vektor was generally a quintet, electric bass, drums, guitar, tenor sax and trombone. We played original music in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from 1983 to 1990. The music was an eccentric mix of jazz, free-blowing, funk, punk, and whatever else seemed appropriate at the time. Vektor was primarily an instrumental aggregation, but there were some vocal tunes which featured Victor Bateman. Mr. Bateman wrote all the material. Influences? Frank Zappa, Sun Ra, Bill Frisell, Dave Holland, Defunkt, Blood Ulmer, the usual radical suspects, plus other people playing in Toronto at the time. Tom Walsh, Nic Gotham, Reiner Weems, Bill Grove, Paul Cram, and others. We had a lot of fun playing this stuff. It is well-written, well-played, and worth listening to. It is also danceable if you are uninhibited.Listen to Victor Bateman on bass, Perry White on sax, Stephen Donald on trombone, Martin Rickert or Mark MacCarron or Kim Ratcliffe on guitar, Graeme Kirkland or Stich Wynston or Barry Romberg on drums, and enjoy.

Story Of Vektor songs

Flux documents the conjunction of jazz, rock, free music, and classical in the 1990s Boston scene. Recorded by the collective Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra, it brings together some of the key players who contributed to bands such as les Miserables Brass Band, the Either/Orchestra, and Orange Then Blue. "Variations on a Theme by Jimi Hendrix," by Darrell Katz, seems to have these all under one roof, with the expected rock influences, but also an evocative passage highlighting Kathy Halvorson's solo oboe set over a vibraphone pattern. Each of the Alliance's two guest stars, Julius Hemphill and Sam Rivers, contributes a composition. Rivers' piece rests on rolling swing over a shifting metric foot, featuring small groups of soloists improvising collectively against dense orchestral textures. Hemphill's piece pays tribute to the tradition of the blues and features an anguished elegiac spot for the composer. Also on hand is John Medeski, before he found fame laying down acid jazz grooves with Medeski, Martin & Wood. Playing mostly acoustic piano, Medeski solos effectively on five of the tracks. The lesser-known members of the band, including saxophonist Rob Scheps, guitarists John Dirac and Jim Kelly, and trombonist David Harris, also add improvisational bite to the charts. For a session that stylistically covers so much ground and features so many distinctive personalities, it achieves remarkable cohesion. ~ David Dupont
When The Jazz Composers Alliance was founded in 1985, its agenda included the establishment of an active public forum for the presentation of new jazz works, the creation of the JCA Orchestra, and a concert series that included a visiting composers program. Since then, the JCA initiated the Julius Hemphill Composition Awards, an annual competition promoting the most interesting and progressive work by jazz composers around the world, created two other ensembles, the JCA Sax Quartet and JCA Winds, and released 6 CD's. With some of New England's finest improvising musicians in its ranks, the JCA Orchestra has premiered over 120 new pieces by its resident composers along with commissioned works by Muhal Richard Abrams, Marty Ehrlich and Wayne Horvitz; JCA performances have featured ...
