Bill Fulton pianist – “Fred Horn Live At Jax Bar & Grill”
Bill Fulton pianist Fred Horn Live at Jax documents Bill Fulton on piano with saxophonist Fred Horn for this 2010 live recording. Fulton performs on all titles, providing the piano part throughout the project. The album captures the musicians in a live setting at Jax Bar & Grill in Glendale, California.
Fred Horn Live at Jax Bar & Grill
Fred Horn is a Los Angeles-area saxophonist whose work includes jazz, standards, R&B, pop, and other styles. For this live project, Bill Fulton joined Horn as pianist. Rather than appearing on only one selection, Fulton plays throughout the recording.
The venue also gives the album an important connection to Southern California jazz history. Jax Bar & Grill operated for decades on Brand Boulevard in Glendale and regularly presented live jazz. The Los Angeles Times wrote about Jax and its place in the Los Angeles jazz scene, describing the club as an established destination for live music.
Consequently, a recording made at Jax represents more than a typical restaurant performance. The club provided a setting where Southern California jazz musicians could perform regularly before a live audience. That atmosphere forms the backdrop for Fred Horn’s performance and Fulton’s piano work on this recording.
Bill Fulton on Piano
As pianist for the complete project, Fulton supports the ensemble across all of the recorded selections. His role on Fred Horn Live at Jax Bar & Grill is part of a broader discography that includes work as a pianist, keyboardist, composer, arranger, orchestrator, and producer.
In addition, Fulton and Horn worked together in other settings. Fulton also provided arranging work for Fred Horn and performed with him at live engagements. Therefore, this album reflects an ongoing musical association rather than a one-time studio appearance.
