Elements

Bassist Tag Egan and drummer Danny Gottlieb have already been longtime friends, you start with their times at the College or university of Miami in the first ’70s and continuing throughout their period with Pat Metheny (Egan is at the guitarist’s group from 1978-1980, while Gottlieb remained until 1983). They shaped Components in 1982, which, from its begin, also included Expenses Evans on soprano and tenor and keyboardist Clifford Carter; guitarist Steve Khan, keyboardist Gil Goldstein, many percussionists, saxophonist David Mann, along with other players have already been guests. Their music (recorded on Philo, Antilles, Hip Pocket, Novus, GRP, Bluemoon, and Wavetone) is really a calm and thoughtful type of fusion, filled up with subtle creativity.
