| Cameron Mizell's New EP  Guitarist Cameron Mizell teams up with drummer Mike Fortune and keyboardist Brad Whiteley for the five song EP The EPic of Chester Bustamante", his second release. The upbeat funk and creative improvisation is heavily influenced by and draws comparisons to The Meters, John Scofield, Grant Green, and Soulive. Shortly after recording his first album (2004's self titled Cameron Mizell) in Indiana, Mizell relocated to Brooklyn, NY. He soon began playing with drummer Mike Fortune and developing material for a trio setting.Fortune's loose and highly interactive funk style is a perfect fit for a trio and complemented Mizell's phrasing. Keyboardist Brad Whiteley rounded out the group in early 2006. His tight bass lines, spot on comping and energetic solos reinvented the bands' sound. After several months of gigging, The EPic of Chester Bustamante was recorded at The Cutting Room in New York City. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
