Press Reviews NY Times, The Skanner, Jazz Times, Jazz Now Haybert Houston of Jazz Now writes, "Clark Gayton is one of the better trombone players I have heard in a long time." Richard Bogle of The Skanner comments, "Let's hear it for Clark Gayton.... He and his band Neatherealm have turned out a disk of pop flavored jazz that's bound to please." Excerpt from Flavorpill: ************************************************************** Flavorpill | week of 9.25.01 ************************************************************** WEDNESDAY MUSIC WHAT: Clark Gayton's Explorations in Dub WHEN: Wed 9.26 (7pm - 10pm) WHERE: Parkside Lounge (317 E Houston St., 212.673.6270) PRICE: FREE Horn master Clark Gayton (Sting, The Skatelites, Mingus Big Band, Maxwell) wields a gargantuan Sousaphone (big fat tuba) and belts out chakra-bustin' dub-meets-Bootsy basslines. For his Explorations in Dub, Clark has assembled members of Steel Pulse, The Skatelites (Noel Alphonso, son of ska-originator Roland Alphonso, plays the drums) and other all-star guests that blow minds and genres at this priceless weekly jam. The vibe is a funky melange of improvisation-infused reggae, jazz, psychedelic ska and surreal samples. Come on down and get some healin' with Clark and his crew... SPREAD IT!
