GABBLE RATCHET has a
full set of Gabriel-Era Classics and Deep Tracks
planned, so be prepared to take a little trip back!
Fusing imaginative concepts, thoughtful, symphonic
composition, and theatrical performance, XNA adds
their virtuosic, lush soundscape to the world of progressive
rock. It's no wonder their debut album, produced by Billy
Sherwood, who also adds his incredible talents on bass for the
record, has been hailed as "The best of what classic melodic
progressive rock should offer" (Craig Harranft, DANGER DOG)
and "The most exciting prog rock release of the
year!" (Brent Black, CRITICAL JAZZ)
And putting an emphasis on melody, composition and
improvisation, HELIOPOLIS,
born of the incredible musicianship of MARS HOLLOW, GABBLE RATCHET,
and TEN JINN, aims to take their music further and ever higher,
expanding on the sonic legacies laid down by their former bands and
building upon them one melodic layer at a time, laying the
foundation and paving the way to new musical landscapes.
It's a collection of three of the most exciting and moving top notch
bands in the world--a NIGHT OF PROG not to be missed!

No cover charge About the
bands
Glass was active in the mid '70's, but you probably never heard
of them until recently (if at all) because they never released an album!
However, they did do some studio sessions in the '70's and also some high
quality recordings of themselves during practice sessions. After breaking
up for many years, they have re-banded, formed their own label Relentless
Pursuit Records, and released a double-CD of their studio and live
recordings. Not only that, they have appeared at the new ProgWest
rock festival in 2001, Baja Prog
in 2002, and they put together the Progman Cometh festival in 2002 (where
they, of course played) as well. They've come out of nowhere to being
everywhere! Who says progressive rock is dead? In August 2004 they will
finally have time to start work on their much-anticipated
"comeback" CD. It will be recorded in Seattle, Washington and
will contain all new material - their first studio recording in nearly
thirty years. Glass is confident it will prove what longstanding Glass
Fans have always known: great music like the talent of the musicians that
create it, is timeless. http://www.rpursuit.com/GlassBros/Index.asp
Forever Twelve is a five-piece progressive rock band from Los
Angeles, California. Their symphonic sound includes female lead vocals,
vintage keyboards, both electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass, and
complex drums and percussion. The songs on both "Remembrance
Branch" and "Spark of Light" range from intense rocking to
gentle interludes, feature lots of time signature changes, and have
several extended instrumental sections. Their original songs show
influences by Genesis, Yes, Camel, and Rush, among others. Forever Twelve
have appeared at ProgWest (2002) and Baja Prog (2004). www.forevertwelve.com |

The
CalProg executive staff met for dinner recently to discuss bands under
consideration for next year’s festival and afterwards we adjourned to a
small club in
Huntington Beach
where we saw the Genesis tribute band Gabble Ratchet for the first time. I
have to tell you, I went in with low expectations. I had no idea how much
fun I’d end up having! The band is made up of extremely talented
musicians whose renditions of Genesis’ magical music was spot on, from
the “Watcher” ‘tron intro, to the emotionally gripping HACKETT
guitar solo in Firth of Fifth (complete with Taurus bass pedals), to a
tasty banquet of tunes from The Lamb. Their delivery of these classics of
progressive rock was truly inspiring. We were reminded that the strength
of this music is the powerfully vivid and emotive writing. GR’s
selection of material was perfect and their stage presence had a certain
innocence yet intensity. It was a nostalgic journey surrounded by prog
fans singing along to every song. Quietly of course, because we are after
all, PROGSNOBS! ;-)
So it
is with great pleasure that we announce another installment in the
continuing series of “CalProg Nights at Steamers”. On Wednesday
October 26 Gabble Ratchet will present an evening of Genesis music. They
will be performing songs from Genesis’ early years, including music from
the albums Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb
Lies Down on Broadway, Trick of the Tale and more.
I
highly recommend that you call Steamers Jazz club in
Fullerton
(714-871-8800) as soon as possible to make reservations for this very
special evening. There will be a minimal $10 cover charge (hey we gotta
pay the band!). The show starts at 8:00 and will go until about 11:00, but
plan to get there early and show Terence (the owner) your appreciation for
sponsoring CalProg nights by buying one of their deliciously affordable
dinners. This is an all age’s venue and the atmosphere is very warm and
friendly. It only holds about 120 people so don’t wait too long, it may
fill up. .
We
hope to see you there!

FROM NEW YORK PIANIST/VOCALIST RACHEL Z
Returning from a 3 year tour with Peter Gabriel, the
stunning Rachel Z and her piano trio is reaching audiences and captivating
them from the moment they hit their seats. With recording and performing
credits including Peter Gabriel, Al DiMeola, Wayne Shorter, Steps Ahead,
and Stanley Clarke, Rachels magnificent and exquisite song poems are
beautiful and demanding. Manhattan-born and raised Rachel Nicolazzo (aka
Rachel Z) had music practically ingrained in her genetic code. Groomed to
follow in her mothers operatic footsteps, she began voice lessons at two,
started classical piano lessons at seven and attended the opera by age
nine. Then I heard Miles Smiles. Listening to Herbie Hancocks harmonies
over Wayne Shorters compositions helped her bridge the gap from her
classical training to jazz. Rachel Z graduated from the New England
Conservatory with a Distinction in Performance award. While performing and
recording steadily with the classic fusion band Steps Ahead from 1988
through 1996, she also worked with Al DiMeola, Larry Coryell, Special EFX,
and Angela Bofill. Her connection to saxophone great Wayne Shorter grew
from major influence to full-blown collaborator over the two years she
worked on his 1995 hit comeback album High Life, for which she built a
synthesized orchestral framework to crystallize his musical vision. The CD
won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. Rachels latest CD Grace is
her debut release on the highly acclaimed Chesky label. The album is also
significant as it debuts the formidable vocal talents of this acclaimed
pianist who was trained as a classical singer from childhood. Grace
continues a Rachel Z tradition of combining beautifully crafted original
songs with stunningly innovative arrangements of cover songs drawn from
the rock and pop worlds. On Grace Rachel selects songs by U2, Nirvana,
Kate Bush, Björk and John Lennon to mix with her own compositions binding
the ten tracks of the album with spare arrangements and universal themes
encompassing love, pain and growth. In addition to extensive touring and
recording, Rachel Z is currently an instructor of Jazz Theory and The Jazz
Improvisation Ensemble at New School University in New York City.
For more information on this exciting, young artist, visit her website at www.rachelz.com.
