Bill Fulton Band at Borders (now Barnes & Noble )Thousand Oaks CA 2004

1/1/04 5:52pm

Bob Agnew, LA Jazz SceneWhile they wish they could, these musicians can’t make a living playing in the clubs. Their reward is the joy they get in doing it. For example, not so long ago (11/12/03) at Borders Books [sic] in Thousand Oaks, CA, pianist-composer-arranger Bill Fulton made an appearance with his septet. A really tight, hard-playing little band that even die-hard big band listeners could enjoy. In the groove with leader Fulton was trombonist Nick Lane, Anne King on trumpet and flugelhorn, Glen Berger on tenor saxophone, Rick Rossi on alto sax, Adam Cohen at the bass and Dave Derge at the drums. With a tempo range from fast to moderate, the band did such tunes as “Somewhere in September,” “The Land That Time Forgot,” “Bolivia,” “Girl of the Moment,” and “In Your Face.” It was a mix of originals and otherwise, and a good combination as might be expected of Fulton, who is also a composer-arranger in one of the animating studios.
