  • Bio

    The latest movements to hit Dennis Gonzalez Yells At Eels is our involvement as Ariel Pink's backup band (which he calls "Added Pizzazz") in his newest projects for 4AD Records and Free Dope and Fucking in the Streets Records, which have both gone viral! The leader, Dennis Gonzalez is a legend of the New Jazz genre who leads one of the few free-, ethnic-, and improvisational-jazz groups in the North Texas region, the trio Yells At Eels; amazing since he hails from the same area as the likes of Ornette Coleman, Charles Moffett, Dewey Redman, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and the late Prince Lasha. The trio Yells At Eels started playing in 1999 and are still going strong a decade later. Gonzalez has released 35 CD's as a leader with legends such as Famoudou Don Moye, Charles Brackeen, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake, Alvin Fielder, Malachi Favors, Ahmed Abdullah. Yells At Eels itself has released four CD's: "Home", a double disk titled "Pictogram/Home Away From Home", and the most recent release, called "Geografia", produced by Aaron and Stefan Gonzalez, Gonzalez's sons, who play bass and drums, respectively, in the trio. There are also 2 CD's on France's Ayler Records: "The Great Bydgoszcz Concert" with Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado; and "Cape of Storms" (just released in June 2010!) with South African legendary drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo. ____________________________________________________________ Yells At Eels itself has had the opportunity to perform and/or record with the likes of Oliver Lake, Tim Green, Carl Smith, Clyde Kerr, Jr., Andrew Lamb, Walter Horn, Matt Lavelle, George Cartwright, Douglas Ewart, Famoudou Don Moye, Yusef Komunyakaa, Rodrigo Amado, Remi Alvarez, Sabir Mateen and many more great artists. ________________________________________________________________ Thanks to all who have come to see and hear the music on all Gonzalez tours throughout the world in different collaborations / incarnations: Yells At Eels, Banda de Brujos, Band of Nordic Wizards, A Matter of Blood Quartet, Renegade Spirits, Dallas-London 6tet, N Y Quartet, Lisbon Improvisation Players, New DallasAngeles, and New DallasOrleansSippi!

    OPTIMISM is the FAITH that leads to ACHIEVEMENT !
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OPTIMISM ...

    “One of the things I learned the hard way was

    that it DOESN'T PAY to get DISCOURAGED.

    Keeping busy and making OPTIMISM a way of life

    can RESTORE YOUR FAITH in yourself.”

    IF YOU REALIZED HOW POWERFUL YOUR

    THOUGHTS ARE ~ YOU WOULD NEVER THINK

    ANOTHER NEGATIVE THOUGHT!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ... 

    “Never underestimate the POWER OF DREAMS and the influence of the HUMAN SPIRIT. We are all the same in this notion: The POTENTIAL FOR GREATNESS lives within each of us.”

     ~ Wilma Rudolph - Olympic Champion

    Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs., the 20th of 22 siblings;  Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age 4.  She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was 9.

    Wilma Rudolph was considered the FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD in the 1960s and competed in two Olympic Games, in 1956 and in 1960.

    In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Rudolph became the first American woman to win 3 GOLD MEDALS in track and field during a single Olympic Games.

    Don't be afraid to TAKE RISKS !
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RISK TAKING ...

    “The person who RISKS NOTHING,

    DOES NOTHING,

    HAS NOTHING,

     IS NOTHING,

    and BECOMES NOTHING.

    He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply

    cannot LEARN and FEEL and CHANGE

    and GROW and LOVE and LIVE.”

    ~ Leo F. Buscaglia

    MAN CANNOT DISCOVER NEW OCEANS UNLESS HE

    HAS THE COURAGE TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE SHORE!

    It's Time to Give the Man SOME RESPECT !
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW CD THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    "I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."

    "I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."

    "I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."

    "I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."

    "My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."

    "What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."

    "This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."

    ~ Rodney Dangerfield

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

     ~ Make It a GREAT DAY my friend!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE  ...

    "You will find as you look back upon your LIFE

    that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED

    are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS

    in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."

    ~ Henry Drummond

    THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.

    WHAT IS SACRED?  OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?

    WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH

    DYING FOR?  THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.

    ONLY LOVE.

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
