Bill Fulton pianist – “She – Whom the Sun Does Shine”
Bill Fulton pianist on She for Whom the Sun Does Shine is a recording credit from the James Gentry Quintet album She for Whom the Sun Does Shine. Fulton performs piano on the jazz recording alongside saxophonist and bandleader James Gentry and other members of the quintet.
Released in 2004, She for Whom the Sun Does Shine combines original music by James Gentry with compositions by several major jazz writers. The seven-track album includes two versions of the title composition as well as two performances of Benny Golson’s Along Came Betty. In addition, the program features Lee Morgan’s Ceora, Herbie Hancock’s Dolphin Dance, and a concluding Tangerine / Girl Talk performance.
Bill Fulton on piano
Bill Fulton is credited as musician and pianist on the album. His role places him in the rhythm section supporting Gentry’s tenor saxophone and the featured trumpet and flugelhorn work of Chris Tedesco. Paul Morin is credited on bass, while Paul Goldberg performs on drums.
The recording reflects a straight-ahead modern jazz setting built around extended performances and improvisation. For example, Dolphin Dance runs for more than eleven minutes, while Ceora lasts nearly seven minutes. Consequently, the album gives the musicians considerable room to develop the material beyond the length of a typical song performance.
