"The complete absence of all Pop and all modern Schnickschnack takes the admission clear and timeless."
"sounds very dynamic and sprays a breath of fusion and after to something end 70's Return tons of Forever sounds, when those had called off the skirt and to the radio were mutated."
-Ragazzi Music review of TOT
In the last few years, the Weller family has released three original albums that couldn't be more stylistically diverse.
Our 2006 release, Tree of Thorns on Circumvention Records, was produced by Bob Weller, and features five of Danny Weller's original compositions, three standards, and four free tracks. All four Wellers make an appearance, but the core trio features Bob on Piano, Danny on Bass, and the great Cliff Almond on Drums. You can listen to tracks from TOT right here on Myspace.
Charlie is currently a student at Berklee School of Music in Boston, and a former member of rock band The Real You on SmartPunk . They were one of 6 finalist bands in Takeover Record's 2005 Sign My Band Contest . Go check them out on TRY's Myspace , or at Purevolume .
Finally, there's Ellen's latest project: Spirits, Little Dreams and Improvisations, which features performances of many wonderful avant guarde musicians such as George Lewis and Vinnie Golia. Those familiar with Ellen's musical aspirations will fully appreciate this project as it combines elements of Klezmer, Jazz, and free improvisation. Read more about the concept behind, get information on ordering, and listen to tracks from SLD&I at Circumvention Records .
Thanks for listening!
For those of you who don't know about this guy, go and check him out. One of the most incredible jazz composers and musicians you will ever listen to. Billy Childs
