The Fellowship Band features Brian Blade (drums, seen way in back on the right of the photo above), Chris Thomas (bass,) Jon Cowherd (piano,) Myron Walden (alto sax and bass clarinet,) and Melvin Butler (tenor sax). They have released 3 albums together – Fellowship and Perceptual, both on Blue Note, and the 2008 Verve recording, Season of Changes. They were a personal highlight at the New Orleans Jazzfest last spring. Spacious, lapidary ensemble playing.
Once a guitar-playing singer, now a drummer and bandleader, Brian Blade is also known as the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell, Emmylou Harris, Peter Martin, Nicholas Payton, Antoine Drye, Delfeayo Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Harry Connick, Jr., Gray Mayfield, Marcus Roberts, and Victor Goines.
Since 2000, Brian has also been part of the Wayne Shorter Quartet with Danilo Perez and John Patitucci.
