    EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF FUNK MUSIC!
    ---------------------------------------------

    Between 1969 and 1975, Miles Davis released groundbreaking music that became know as his
    "electric years". That music remains not only ahead of its time, but timeless. Its influence
    across contemporary music spans genres - records like "Bitches Brew", "A Tribute to Jack
    Johnson", "Live-Evil", "On the Corner", "Dark Magus", "Agharta", and "Pangaea" have inspired
    artists from Public Enemy to Parliament-Funkadelic to Brian Eno to Radiohead to The Red Hot
    Chili Peppers, and hundreds of others.

    Collectively, CHILDREN ON THE CORNER have helped to build a wall of sound that is still
    reverbating. You've heard them on records; you've felt their influence directly or indirectly
    in much of the music that you've heard. Now they're here, working together to bring funk and
    fusion to new heights.

    Bassist Michael Henderson played with several Motown artists (Fantastic Four, Detroit
    Emeralds, Billy Preston) from age 13, and toured with Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin by age
    19 before being plucked away by Miles Davis. He spent 1970 - 75 providing a musical anchor for
    the Miles Davis band.

    Saxophonist Sam Morrison toured the U.S. with Miles Davis, including concerts in Central Park,
    and the Bottom Line. He's recorded as a leader for the Inner-City label, and won critical
    acclaim for his groundbreaking fusion album Natural Layers on the Chiaroscuro label.

    Pianist Michael Wolff began his professional career at age 19 with Latin jazz pioneer Cal
    Tjader. In 1975, Wolff was hired by the great alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, which was
    followed by stints with Sonny Rollins, Airto Moreira and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra
    before Wolff became the musical director, arranger and pianist for singer Nancy Wilson. Taking
    his talents to television, Wolff became the musical director for the popular "Arsenio Hall
    Show."

    Badal Roy is the foremost exponent of tabla in jazz music. He has played with not only Miles
    Davis and John McLaughlin, but also artists as diverse as Herbie Mann, Dave Liebman, Don
    Cherry, Pharaoh Sanders, Dizzy Gillespie, Lonnie Liston Smith, Andreas Vollenweider, and Yoko
    Ono.

    Guitarist Spaceman is a popular musician who performs, produces, composes and arranges all
    genres of music. His musical credits read like a whošs who in music. Spaceman has performed
    and/or recorded with Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton
    and Ornette Coleman to name a few.

    Drummer Victor Jones is internationally recognized as a major jazz drummer and musical
    innovator. He has recorded and performed with Stan Getz, Stanley Turrentine, Michel
    Petrucciani, and the Mingus Big Band. Originally a classical trumpet player, his strong
    melodic background contributes to his reputation for subtlety and style in group performance,
    and for his powerful solos.

    Children On The Corner's latest CD is Rebirth on the Sonance label. Writing in Jazziz
    Magazine Bill Milkowski had this to sayŠ Their sound as a group often evokes the intensely
    visceral grooves that fueled Davis' electric juggernaut 30-some years ago. And Mark Keresman
    writing for JazzReview.com had this to sayŠ Fans of electric Miles will eat this up, and
    lovers of the jam-band sphere (Burnt Sugar, Gov't Mule, etc.) ought to check into it too (to
    hear where they got it from, at least in part).
