Zeitgeist
Guitarist/Composer, Bill Banfield's new CD, Spring Forward( innova/Jazz Urbane), emerges as a project focused on composition, melodies, live performing and a cross boundary aesthetic. The new jazz recording encompasses 5 bands: guitar trio with upright and electric basses, acoustic and electric quartet and double band with the Banfield ensemble and the St. Paul-based Zeitgeist new music ensemble. This is a recording collective of several tastes and approaches. Mostly a live recording, it was recorded in an artists- studio with an audience. This project satisfies a wide call from many jazz listening audiences.
Banfield's "suite" is an important experiment in American music on several levels"form, architecture, poetic, well conceived, thought provoking prose, sense of immediency" (The Free Blues Suite) is uniquely steeped in American folklore. The musicians communicate with a single purpose and intense commitment to every song: a contemporary view of Blues expression.
--- Delfeayo Marsalis
...comfortable and persuasive in habiting such expansive terrains, Bill Banfield has the musical wingspan and is confident in both concert hall and jam session, at home and ease whether committing his inspiration to manuscript or expressing it in the moment... Banfield is also a guitar player who understands the power of his instrument to create improvisational heat and lyrical glow, and a bandleader who presents his partners with music that can be felt together. "Banfield's perspective on jazz allows for stretching and grooving" Much like a Cubist portrait, his work provides multiple perspectives and reveals highlights and shadows, without disrupting the integrity of the overall form.
--- Bob Blumenthal
A Detroit jazzbo, this guitar slinger has as much civil rights jazz on his DNA as he does Earl Klugh. With a bit of an AACM vibe in the laminar flow underpinning this set, Banfield and his crew want to include rather than exclude but they want to do some teaching and horizon expanding as well. A low key kind of exciting release that those looking to lean to the left of smooth jazz without getting hit over the head will enjoy.
