   About Avant Gardner
 
Avant Gardner was borne out of the creation and subsequent demise of numerous bands and collaborations over a period of 12 years. Sick of the constant struggle to get numerous individuals to work as an enthusiastic, like-minded team, coupled with the logistical nightmares involved with orchestrating weekly practises, (not to mention impending ego's) Avant Gardner decided to strike out on his own. Instead of wasting precious time questioning the Why's and How's of a Bands disintegration and looking for someone to blame, Avant Gardner decided to go it alone, come what may, he can only blame himself this time! And so, 8 years after his last ill-fated collaboration, and utilising a wardrobe for the majority of that time as his only refuge, Avant was able to fulfil his passion for Writing, Playing, Recording and Producing. 5 self-financed albums and 75 songs later, Avant felt it was time to take a break from Writing and Recording so that he could take the music to the people. Without a band to back him up, Avants taken to performing solo Acoustic gigs around the City to offer an alternative Live take on his recorded offerings. Attempting to change the way in which Popular Music is created and received from the ground up whilst retaining the essence of what makes a good song think of it as total re-engineering. Avant Gardner believes in using Music as a platform to give an alternative, truly independent approach to Music.

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our third LP release...

"Anutha Kinda Brotha" is the debut LP from underground legend ART TERRY. Since moving to the UK from his native Los Angeles in the early 90s, Mr Terry has established himself as one of London's characters. Describing Art's sound to the uninitiated usually involves debunking some of the stereotypes of what the 'typical' black Californian might play. Despite his jazz training, and coming of age to the sounds of classic soul and funk, these styles are only a part of his musical vision. His fascination with folk styles, classical music, punk rock, pure pop, easy listening, musical theatre and the European avant garde have taken him on different paths from most...

The result is an orchestral pop record full of sonic inventiveness, whether it's the blend of Shuggie Otis's 60s California and Sun Ra's ancient Egypt on 'Bible', Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons leading a mariachi band on 'Escort', or the Walt Disney music box orchestra of 'Miss Dominatrix', but whilst this is very much a sonic feast, we shouldn't overlook Art's extraordinary lyrical adeptness, and the distinctive character this brings to the proceedings, with a knack for unique and colourful imagery, and how like a great short story writer he is able to paint an engaging picture whilst keeping back from casting judgement on his characters, always leaving open ends for the listener to tie; giving us the feeling that however far astray someone might have gone, there is always sympathy and human feeling for them in Art's mind...

hey hey hey sir!
that is honestly the best i have ever heard you
last night at The Mocha Lounge
your voice was ggggggrrrrrrrreat!
on a personal opinion, i think your five stringed guitar helped
cos without that top E
your voice tuned beautifully to the rest of what was left
brilliant, really good
and thanks for the album!
will listen v soon

get Mim to get in touch too
would really like her to play The Picture House soon
and let me know when you would like to play there
