Robert Anbian and the UFQ: The Unidentified Flying Quartet
Product Description
Avant poetry and jazz for time travelers in love
From the San Francisco poetry underground comes the voice of Robert Anbian, backed by electronic percussionist E. Doc Smith and Bay Area sax legend Charles Unger, plus keyboardist Sam Peoples and bassist Mike Shea. UFQ (the Unidentified Flying Quartet) makes its own magic inspired by the music of Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and Bobby Hutcherson, with infusions of Brian Eno, the Grateful Dead, and something else. Notes Anbian: "I call the post-fusion, world beat jazz these guys play "acid-bop' its got more possibilities for poetry than the typical verse-chorus cadences of popular music."
