| About Arnold Faber |
|
Vibraphonist Arnold Faber is an accomplished, award- winning composer and performer. He has played most of the jazz festivals in Canada with his groups Mallet Busters and Vibre... His passion for the vibraphone and percussion is evident in every note he plays.
Arnold’s unique sound and approach have delighted audiences at the
Port Hope, Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary and Medicine Hat Jazz festivals in recent years. He has also recorded many sessions for CBC Radio.
Arnold Faber’s Vibré CD Blue Comedy MAX15612 (Maximum/Universal) is receiving airplay on jazz and public radio stations around the world.
Blue Comedy (Maximum Jazz) Rating: NNN
“Arnold Faber has been on the Canadian scene for over 25 years, consistently doing great things on percussion and, more importantly, vibraphone. The sounds he makes on Blue Comedy could have come from the bottom of the sea, washing over the listener with a soothing grace that leaves one feeling simply refreshed.
Reworking songs by Jan Garbarek and Frank Zappa, among others you'll be familiar with, Faber breathes new life into them with the help of his great band, Vibré. The Dave Brubeck classic The Unsquare Dance, a particularly snappy number, takes on an almost acid-jazz twist here that any fan of St. Germain would dig.”
- Brent Raynor, Now Magazine, Toronto
