After recording four trio CD’s for Enja. “FLESH and STONE”, “FACE LIFT “, “REFUGEES” with the Glenn FERRIS ‘TRIO’ and “CHROMINACE” with the Glenn FERRIS ‘CHROMINANCE ‘ trio, (I love trios) I was inspired once again to do a threesome.
I wanted to find a singer that had the “right stuff” for my music. Things happen when they do.
I was invited to be a soloist with the ‘LEBOCAL BIG BAND’ of France, for a Frank ZAPPA music recording project. A well known singer was supposed to sing but could not be present, so one of the saxophonists in the band who also sang, was appointed the singer for the recording.
Please welcome Ernie ODOOM. After hearing him sing and playing / recording with Ernie, I knew he was the singer for me.
The FERRIS ‘WHEEL’ trio concretely came about when Ernie called me one day asking me if I would be interested in having myself and Bruno ROUSSELET be invited to perform with him for his two day Carte Blanche at the well respected AMR jazz club in Geneva,Switzerland. Well, that inspired me to create a brand new repertoire for us three.
These first FERRIS ‘WHEEL’ trio concert performances at the AMR jazz club are what is offered here on this CD. As I said before, things happen when they do. This CD is the result of our inspired performances that could have never been planned. We were blessed with some magic on these nights, not only because of the music that happened but because of the great sound quality of the live recording that was captured as well. (Glenn Ferris)
