Artist description This group is David T. Chastain's main improvisational group during the later 80s through the mid 90s.. The jams on thse Cds are usually started with riffs from David T. Chastain's previously released Cds and then taken to the outer limits of improvisation. The band's ability to stray into metal, funk, rock, blues and fusion all within the same track is mind boggling. Especially considering nothing is ever planned out before the music starts. The only starting point is the initial riff and off they go. David's wide range of influences have never been displayed in a better light than in these no holds barred jam sessions where there are no rules. Drummer Mike Haid showcases his fusion roots and Bassist Mike Skimmerhorn pounds away on the bass to keep everything in the groove.The music on these Cds is definitely an "aberration" from the norm!
