David Gilmore: guitar
David Binney: saxophone
Uri Caine: piano
James Genus: bass
Rodney Holmes: drums
Comprised of 5 stellar musicians from New York, Global Theory takes you on
a musical odyssey to places past, present and future. Drawing upon their
vast collective influences of jazz, rock, r&b, funk and world music, their
sound is unique and refreshing -- experimental yet accessible to all. Their
material ranges from soft, moody and enigmatic tunes to hard-hitting,
rhythmically explosive and harmonically innovative flights. (Bandinfo)
Fortunately, this David Gilmore has nothing to do with the guitarist from
Pink Floyd. Rather, he comes out of the tradition of Steve Coleman's M-Base
and 5 Elements. Recently, Wayne Shorter has joined Trilok Gurtu in the list
of his contractual partners. Global Theory sees itself as a collective of
musicians enjoying equal rights who, in the broadest sense, count among the
top players in the NY Fusion Scene. Saxophonist Binney is one of the
founding members of Lost Tribes and has worked with Medeski, Martin and
Wood. Uri Caine is one of the few younger-generation musicians to have
secured a contract with Polygram while still remaining an innovative force
in his own right. James Genus established himself as the bassist for the
Brecker Brothers, for Steps Ahead and at the side of David Sanborn. Drummer
Rodney Holmes also has an impressive list of credentials, which includes
work with Santana, Zawinul and Shorter. New York Is Now!
P.S. David Gilmore can also be heard on Thomas Lang's latest recording.
