Bio
Musician/Composer Nelson Foltz has worked with such artists as Spoon, Steely Dan, Barry White, Aretha Franklin, Michael Grimm, Dave Liebman, Josh Ritter, Deborah Gibson, Tony Williams, MaryAnne Marino, Roberta Flack, Juliette Commagere, Joachim Cooder, Robin McKelle and the Maria Schneider Orchestra. His credits include music for film, television and radio as well as performing in the orchestra for numerous broadway shows including The Lion King, Hairspray and Fosse. Nelson's first solo recording "The Longing Hours" was released in 2002 to critical acclaim... .. In collaboration with Berlin based sound artist Tom Lynn, Foltz recently completed work on the fifth installment in a series of recordings entitled "still life". The body of work resulting from this ongoing project has been described as "otherworldly", "stunningly beautiful" and yielded comparisons to the legendary collaborations of Gil Evans-Miles Davis and Brian Eno-Jon Hassell. By crafting a unique approach to instrumental composition and opting to use exclusively acoustic sources, Foltz and Lynn extend the lineage of fourth world/ambient music... .. ..selected press/artist quotes for still life:.... .. .."hypnotic".. - ..laurie anderson.... .. .."music for our time".. - ..maria schneider.... .. .."a great sonic shower".. - ..jon hassell.... .. .."subtly felt, dazzling, and utterly essential".. - ..darren bergstein (e/i magazine).... .. .."some of the most unique trombone playing around".. - .. gordon danis (cdbaby).... .. .."a musician of real vision and originality...foltz has found something all creative instrumentalists look for: a new way to use his instrument".. - ..steve armour (ita).... ..
