The New Fusion Assembly - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I created my layout at KillerKiwi.netThe Merriam/Webster Dictionary states that ;fusion , a noun, is :1: the process of melting or melting together. 2: a merging by or as if by melting. 3: the union of atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei with the release of huge quantities of energy. The New Fusion Assembly follows this definition by combining elements from diverse musical styles and building on the concepts of the fusion pioneers. The NFA has released a sound that is exclusively its own. Abstract, Avant-Garde, sometimes absurd. Theirs is a music that possesses intelligence, intensity and beauty. At the nucleus of the New Fusion Assembly is : Bryan Betts (guitar/guitar synthesizers) and Jake Watson (drums and percussions). In addition to Bryan and Jake, a host of other musicians such as Pete Scarano (bass), Lucas Wicks (bass/electric violin), Stephen Kurtz (bass), Matt Rishaw (guitar/effects/devices), Matt Emkey (keyboards) and DJ Meeshu (grooves) will work with The New Fusion Assembly in various configurations to provide a wide spectrum of sounds and styles.The New Fusion Assembly is an entity that fuses jazz, rock and progressive music into a unique style.

Band Members: BRYAN BETTS : GUITAR/GUITAR SYNTH: influenced by the Beatles, Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane, Scott McGill and a myriad of other outstanding musicians, Bryan devotes countless hours to practice and study. Still taking lessons with Ken Rohrbach Jr., this dedication to guitar and music reflects in his playing. "I am still trying to advance beyond technique and explore pure musical thought. Trying to become more Zen"... Always a favorite on the local scene and a shock to the system of first time listeners. -------- JAKE WATSON : DRUMS Jake has been playing the drums for twenty five years. Being involved in numerous performing and recording projects around the country, he brings a great sense of time and direction to the music, as well as knowledge of guitar, bass, and arranging.
