FANTASY

A new endeavor by Bill Mays and Marvin Stamm which brings to the fore cellist Alisa Horn to join them in a trio setting of great classical themes interspersed with the musically moving improvisations for which Marvin Stamm and Bill Mays are known. Critics have been overwhelmingly accepting of this venture. In the words of Judith Schlesinger at AllAboutJazz.com, "It’s rare for classical music and jazz to nestle this comfortably together, but Fantasy is so tuneful and well-crafted that partisans of both sides will find much to enjoy—and those who already frolic in the third stream will be positively delighted."

Track List:

1.) Baubles, Bangles, and Beads - Borodin/Wright/Forrest
2.) Vocalise - Rachmaninoff
3.) Fantasy for Cello, Trumpet, and Piano - Mvt. 1 - Mays 
4.) Fantasy for Cello, Trumpet, and Piano - Mvt. 2 - Mays
5.) Fantasy for Cello, Trumpet, and Piano - Mvt. 3 - Mays
6.) Prelude #2 - Gershwin
7.) Prelude Op. 11, #3/Sometime Ago - Scriabin/Mahanovich
8.) Girl with the Flaxen Hair - Debussy
9.) Invention #8/Ah-Leu-Cha - Bach/Parker

  DELAWARE RIVER SUITE

This second recording by Inventions is a culmination of three years of playing together as a trio. Besides being a working and recording unit, off the bandstand we’re like family. We really love one another and have lots of fun every time we hit the road together! I never considered when introducing my musical soul mate Bill Mays to the talented young cellist Alisa Horn, whom I have known seemingly forever, that things would turn out as they did. I had hoped that Bill would write a piece for us that we might one day play, but never thought that three years hence, this trio would be performing consistently and releasing our second CD.

Track List:

1.) Zingaro
2.) Sippin' At Bells/Dance of the Infidels
** Delaware River Suite (Trks. 3 - 9)  **
3.) Prologue/Narrowsburg Deep
4.) Rapid Ride at Skinner's Falls
5.) Float
