Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee's New CD 'Borrowed Time'
I just went into the studio with a new group I've put together performing some new compositions. The band features Mark Turner on tenor saxophone, Dayna Stephens on Tenor Saxophone, Erik Jekabson on trumpet, Albert Sanz on piano and Ferenc Nemeth. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the year or the beginning of 2005. Check out the Flash preview here. Chaplin-The Ballet I'm currently developing a ballet based on the life and work of Charlie Chaplin in collaboration with film composer and guitarist Scott Salinas. We will be writing the score together over the next couple of years and are hoping to stage the project in 2008 or 2009. Mel Martin's Bebop and Beyond I'm currently a member of saxophonist Mel Martin's group Bebop and Beyond. The group also features guitarist Jeffery Burr, pianist Matt Clark and drummer Jeff Marrs. We play a mixture of Mel's compositions and arrangements of standards and tunes by Benny Carter, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Charles Mingus and many others.
