Grammy Award Winning Bassist/Composer *ERIC REVIS* Celebrates His 11:11 Records Recording Debut Tales of The Stuttering Mime at Sweet Rhythm on Thursday, August 12, 2004


Featuring Eric Revis (bass); Orrin Evans (piano); Jeff “Tain" Watts (drums); JD Allen (tenor); Yosvany Terry (alto); Duane Eubanks (trumpet); Oz Noy (guitar)

“Life is a continuum. It must move forward..." (Eric Revis)

Critically acclaimed sideman who started his professional career with Betty Carter and for the past seven years has been a member of Branford Marsalis' quartet now steps into the arena as a leader. His first album is wide open and personal.

Tales From The Stuttering Mime is a labor of love for all of the musicians involved. It was recorded primarily in one day at Sound On Sound Studios in New York (tracks #1 and #10 were recorded at Sear Sound in 2003) with Dana Murray, who co-produced the album with Revis. The album features Jeff “Tain" Watts (drums), JD Allen (tenor sax), Duane Eubanks (trumpet), Orrin Evans (piano), Oz Noy (guitar), and Yosvany Terry (alto saxophone). All of these musicians share a long musical friendship with Revis except for Oz Noy, who understood Revis' musical vision and philosophy immediately after their initial meeting. Engineer Dana Murray flew in from Nebraska for the sessions, and Watts showed up for one of the sessions with his luggage as he was on his way to the airport, just to play cymbals. The album also boasts many special guests, including Gregoire Maret on harmonica, Doug Wamble on banjo, Sherman Irby on alto saxophone, Khalil Kwame Bell on percussion, and Myron Walden on bass clarinet and alto saxophone. There is even a washboard and string quartet.
