Obsidian

|
Obsidian
is a quartet of creative musicians
dedicated to the
spiritual exploration and expression of improvised/composed sounds.
They've
been together since 1999, creating and playing their own
original impressionistic compositions as well as tunes by John
Coltrane,
Ornette Coleman, Horace Tapscott and James Blood Ulmer. Bill Noertker
plays
the bass. David Mihaly plays the drums. These two were the rhythm
section
and composed music for the influential SF group, the After the End of
the
World Coretet. Mark Schmitz plays the guitar, is a prolific composer
and
has studied at Karl Berger's Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY.
David
Boyce plays tenor/soprano saxophones and is co-founder of another
influential
SF ensemble, Broun Fellinis. Obsidian
reflects the myriad forms and
feelings
of the only truly American art form, jazz, the music of now and forever.
