Jazz Los Angeles Band Bill Fulton Band with Ernie Watts Fusion Jazz Horn Section

Review Highlights

The Bill Fulton Band is known as a fusion outfit but you’ll hear a lot of bebop complexities in its book. The precision horn charts and updated takes on jazz standards like “’Round Midnight” and “There’ll Never Be Another You” attract guests like Ernie Watts from time to time. The Fultonites land at La Ve Lee Tuesday. ~Kirk Silsbee, ValleyBeat

Ranging from straight-ahead jazz to funky jazz, the Bill Fulton Septet put on a well-paced program and showed that they are well worth checking out ~Scott Yanow, LA Jazz Scene

Bill Fulton has achieved an amazing coup for contemporary jazz with Time. ~Todd S. Jenkins

Bill Fulton's mini-big band was bright, brassy, and energetic. ~Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

Fulton's perky spontaneity breathes fire into innovative pieces such as "Secrets" and "Time Squared." ~Jim Santella, LA Jazz Scene

Fulton's horn arranging especially stands out as one who really understands the horn section and what to do with them on jazz tunes. ~Lori Barth, The SCORE

Fulton's original songs are consistently catchy.. ~Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Bill Fulton made an appearance with his septet. A really tight, hard-playing little band that even die-hard big band listeners could enjoy. ~Bob Agnew, LA Jazz Scene
