Neil Welch

Born: August 2, 1985

Seattle-based saxophonist Neil Welch represents a new breed of young players who thrive in today's eclectic musical atmosphere. With one foot rooted in the tradition of those who have preceded him (one can't mistake the influence of John Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders in Welch's playing), Welch forges ahead creatively, drawing from diverse influences, under the umbrella of improvised music, with a solid foundation not often found in such a young player. With his debut release, Narmada, Neil Welch has established himself as a creative force in the Seattle jazz scene. Joining Neil on the album are a number of Seattle's young lions, as well as world-renown sitarist Debi Prasad Chatterjee, and Tor Dietrichson on tablas- who with Neil also comprise the traditional Hindustani ensemble, Nada Brahma

Robert MacGregor

Born: 1983

Robert MacGregor (b. 1983 / Los Angeles, CA), of European and Chinese descent, is rapidly developing a unique voice combining such saxophone influences as Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Stan Getz, George Coleman, and Joe Henderson, with a compositional approach that evokes the work of such diverse innovators from Maurice Ravel to Lennie Tristano, Wayne Shorter, Richie Beirach, and Kenny Wheeler. Being based in New York City since 2003 has afforded MacGregor the unparalleled opportunity to draw inspiration from both the brightest emerging talent of his generation as well as such cutting-edge artists as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner, and Dave Binney, among many others. The result, as evidenced with the 2007 debut Refraction of Light, is music that is sophisticated and of-the-present yet accessible to a wide variety of listeners.

Phil Hargreaves

Born: November 7, 1959

phil hargreaves is a Liverpool-based instrumentalist and composer working in the field of improvised and experimental music. I began playing as a guitarist in a punk band in the West Midlands, where i grew up, before moving to Liverpool at the age of twenty and buying a tenor sax, both decisions that would radically shape the rest of my life. Initially i was involved in Liverpool's pop scene, recording John Peel sessions with Personal Column, but eventually i moved via streetband work into the jazz field. After stints playing fusion and dinner jazz, i finally found the area where i could fully combine my talents, interests and influences, in improvised music, an area first stimulated by work with Peshkar theatre, and my subsequent study of Indian music with Aziz Zeria in Manchester. I played with guitarist Phil Morton in the duo Bonehouse, and also helped establish the Frakture club in Liverpool, a club space for improvised and experimental music
