Partisans are now celebrating their 10 year anniversary. Partisans is essentielly a quartet but they often collaborate & play gigs with special guests such as with the great US guitarist Wayne Krantz at Cheltenham Jazz
Festival in 2003. Their visceral, groove-based sound combines bop lines with rock
riffs and flowing melodies, bridging the gap between New York swing, rock and
the US jam-band scene. Alongside Phil Robson and Julian Siegel,
Partisans is Gene Calderazzo (drums) and Thad Kelly (bass).
The CD Max was released on the Babel Label in 2005. The band's second for the
Babel label, this is the first new recording from the London based quartet for
five years, following the release of the critically acclaimed Sourpuss in 2000.
Comprising ten original tunes by guitarist Phil Robson and saxophonist Julian
Siegel, the album includes their interpretations of David Bowie and Charlie Parker
and a composition written specially for the band by guitarist Wayne Krantz. Max
takes its name and inspiration from one of the greatest drummers of all time:
Max Roach. The dynamic melody of the title track borrows its rhythm from Roach
and mixes it with guitar, sax and trumpet lines and relentlessly driving bass
and drums. One of the first of the new wave of UK jazz bands to be influenced
as much by Jimi Hendrix as by Miles Davis or Sonny Rollins, Max also features
guest appearances by Jim Watson (organ), Thebe Lipere (percussion)
and Chris Batchelor (trumpet).
