The Los Angeles-based
B Sharp Jazz Quartet
(saxophonist Randall Willis, pianist Eliot Douglass, bassist Reggie Carson and drummer Herb Graham)
debuted on
B Sharp Jazz Quartet (1994), mostly composed and arranged by Graham,
in a vein that bridged
hard-bop and free-jazz styles, culminating with the lengthy
Hoopty.
Mirage (june 1995), featuring new member Rodney Lee on keyboards,
and Searching for the One (may 1996), featuring new bassist Osama Afifi,
were, instead, a more conventional hard-bop (and funkier) efforts.
Tha Go 'Round (may 1997) marked a return to form with
Steppin' and
Tha Go 'Round.
Rodney Lee debuted solo with the electronic
Innocent Bystander (2000),
formed the duo
Alien Chatter with
percussionist Satnam Ramgotra, documented on
Music For Aliens
(2003)
and
Invasion
(2007), and
released his second solo, The Satellite Orchestra (2006), scored for piano and electronic keyboards.
