Kelvin Sholar
"When I perform," says pianist/composer Kelvin Sholar, "I want to eradicate the separation between the bandstand and the floor. I don't want to play to tables and chairs; I want the audience to be involved, like when a church choir sings."
Sholar's performance experience began early; he was already on stage when he was in utero. "My mother plays the piano and my father plays guitar and bass," he explains. "They did church gigs with my grandmother all around Detroit." Between attending their rehearsals and soaking up the atmosphere in his fusion-drumming uncle's basement (where Sholar's earliest memory is falling asleep beneath a poster of Herbie Hancock's Headhunters album) the pianist's childhood was a pastiche of music, both sanctified and secular.
It is a distinction which blurs when one listens to Sholar's own compositions

Kelvin Sholar Trio: Rites of Fire
by Franz A. Matzner
A syncretic symphony, Kelvin Sholar's Rites of Fire is the product of 15 years of meditation on the history and esoteric mechanisms of musical expression.
