Lionel Hampton Bassist to Release New CD April 30th 2007.
A permanent member of the Lionel Hampton Big Band since 1997, bassist Christian Fabian releases a fabulous new CD "Curtain Of Life" on Spice Rack Records after his worldwide acclaimed debut "Across The Tracks" on CAP Records in 2006.
April 2007 – Christian Fabian, long time bassist for the Lionel Hampton Big Band, announces the release of his new CD featuring an All Star line up of Steve Hunt ..boards (Stanley Clark, Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Turentine) and Steve Michaud on Drums (Alan Holdsworth, David Hines ) with special guest appearances by tenor saxophonists Bill Vint (Aretha Franklin, The Temptations) and Lance Bryant (Bootsy Collins, Lou Rawls), presenting an exciting mix of original funk and groove songs, featuring Christian Fabian this time on a variety of different electric basses.
"Christian lays down a groove and digs deep. His steady drive is one to be reckoned with. He rocks solid! This CD is a total groove pocket."–Cheryl Bentyne
"I love the sound and the relaxed, seamless way Christian and Steve Michaud lock into those finger popping grooves. What a pleasure!"-David Gage
"Christian Fabian knows how to get to the grease!"-Mike Longo
Watch for this fabulous CD in April on Spice Rack Records, one of America's leading, up and coming independent record labels for contemporary jazz and fusion music.
"I love Christian's approach to music and to life, so when he approached me about doing this trio project here at my studio I couldn't wait to get it going. As you will hear when you listen to this recording, this music engulfs his philosophy that is to be "free" and "one" with the music and let it all hang out there. Christian and Steve Michaud's deep rhythmic groove and soul driven musical intensity made this session a beautiful experience to be part of. Enjoy!"-Steve Hunt

Congratulations, Christian. You are a wonderful inspiration. Your hard work continues to pay off and the reviews speak for themselves! I wish you continued success.
Thanks, i hope your summer is going well. I've been hanging out with Jake and Ethan we can't wait to go back to sitka next year. This was my first year and i had an amazing time. Even inspired me to start playing an instrument, i have no idea which one or where i will find the time, but i would love to learn to play something. Anyhow, it was great hearing from you Christian.
Hey! Sorry about the late reply. I've been pretty busy. I'm doing very good except for the fact that I don't have a bass to play. I had to send the one I was using at camp back to my old school. Good news is the the high school will be opening up soon and I can borrow one of their basses. Anyways, hope you're doing well.
Was great to meet ya and play the gig with ya this past week, you sounded great and I enjoyed our musical chemistry- I look forward to more sonic mayhem, keep that bass a growling and I hope to see you soon!
