| Debut Recording from Heernt Heernt is an adventurous new band featuring Mark Guiliana (drums, electronics), Neal Persiani (electric bass) and Zac Colwell (saxophones, juno-60). Heernt's debut recording Locked In A Basement will be released worldwide on June 6, on Avishai Cohen's Razdaz Recordz. Heernt's debut album, Locked in a Basement, is an adventurous statement from three creative, young, musically-footloose musicians, drummer/composer Mark Guiliana, electric bassist Neal Persiani, and saxophonist/keyboardist Zac Colwell, that is built of equal parts jazz, indie rock, and electronic. Drummer Mark Guiliana, of Avishai Cohen's trio, founded Heernt with intention of reaching audiences far and wide with un-classifiable music, and having a blast doing so. Locked in a Basement tells eleven stories in varied settings, including a garage jazz ruckus, an analog funk anthem, an outer space big band, and an epic chamber piece, all in Heernt's unique voice. In stores on June 6 on Razdaz Recordz (distributed by Sunnyside). Drummer/composer Mark Guiliana, a graduate of William Paterson University, has been around the world and in the studio with Avishai Cohen since 2001. In addition, Mark has enjoyed appearances at Carnegie Hall, the JVC Jazz Festival in Paris, Istanbul Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott's in London, and has recorded and performed with Bobby McFerrin, Branford Marsalis, The Jazz Mandolin Project, James Williams, Jason Lindner, and many others. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
