| 482 Music to Release Next Fonda/Stevens Group, Document Chicago CDs The 482 Music label is proud to announce the forthcoming release of the legendary Fonda/Stevens Group's eighth recording, Forever Real (482-1032), as well as the eighth title in its ongoing Document Chicago series, Rosenberg/Baker/Hatwich/Daisy's New Folk, New Blues (482-1031). These two new titles continue the label's mission of supporting new creative music performed by veterans and up-and-coming performers alike. Fonda/Stevens Group Forever Real Street Date: March 22, 2005 482 Music 482-1032 Joe Fonda, bass/composer; Michael Jefry Stevens, piano/composer; Herb Robertson, trumpet; Harvey Sorgen, drum(s); with Napoleon Maddox, human beat box and poetry Dubbed “one of the great and often underappreciated jazz groups of the modern era” by the All Music Guide, and “arguably one of the finest and hardest working modern jazz outfits in the business” by AllAboutJazz, the Fonda/Stevens Group has consistently toured and recorded to critical acclaim for more than a decade. Together since their days in the legendary Mosaic Sextet (with Dave Douglas, Mark Feldman, and Michael Rabinowitz) in the late 80's, the core rhythm section team of Michael Jefry Stevens, Joe Fonda, and Harvey Sorgen has collaborated under the Fonda/Stevens banner with front-line musicians such as Mark Whitecage and Paul Smoker. Their eighth recording, Forever Real, features frequent collaborator Herb Robertson, as well as first-time special guest Napoleon Maddox from the Cincinnati hip hop group, IsWhat?!.
