   About Colter Frazier
Startlingly original...” – Santa Barbara Independent

Tenor saxophonist Colter Frazier has been relatively isolated in Santa Barbara, California for many years honing a unique playing style and compositional sound that shines like a beacon of hope in a dark world of jazz that too often lacks individuality.

His quartet of tenor sax, viola, bass and drums navigate seamlessly between tight, chamber-like compositions, and more open-ended, yet highly conceptualized improvisations. There is no shredding, no fireworks, no jazz cliches. This is simply one of the most unique and exciting modern jazz bands performing today.

In September 2008, the Colter Frazier Quartet released its self-titled debut on pfMentum Records. The album promises to be one of the most original, yet highly listenable instrumental records of the year. The Santa Barbara Independent placed it “among the most mature and beautiful jazz debuts in recent memory” and called it a “polished record of brilliant postmodern jazz.

The Colter Frazier Quartet’s debut album follows two 2007 releases by Frazier. The Colter Frazier/Rob Wallace Duo (pfMentum Records) is “somber, organic and quietly haunting” (Downtown Music Gallery), a sax/drum duo recording that “possesses musical challenges and intrigue at every turn" (Exclaim! Magazine). Bakash (Incognito Records, Beirut, Lebanon) is a unique album of original compositions for tenor sax, flute and bass that was recorded in Cairo, Egypt in 2006.

Thank you for including my photograph in your promotional materials and under your CD tray. I can't express enough how flattering that is.
And that was a really special night at Reds and thanks too for reminding me of that! :)
