Curlew biography:
Mixing free-jazz, rock and their own quirkiness of compositional style into their music, their avant-garde side, thus blurring the boundaries of their musical components, Curlew, lead by George Cartwright on sax, have been active since 1979 when they formed in NYC and have so far 10 releases to their name. The lineup of the band has changed with the years, and band members have included, among others, Fred Frith and Tom Cora. Most of their output was released through Cuneiform records and this is what this label has to say about them:
"Cartwright's compositions are at once direct and mysterious, possessing a clarity and focus that show both Ellington and Ornette assimilated in a most unique way. Backed by the hard-rocking unit of Chris Parker-electric keyboards and piano, Dean Granros-guitar, Fred Chalenor-bass and Bruce Golden-drums, Curlew somehow manage to combine r'n'b swagger and groove with free jazz and wild soloing into a whole that is immediately identifiable as nothing other than "Curlew"!"
