The Fringe

Tenor-saxophonist George Garzone, a well-respected educator at Berklee and a flexible improviser, shaped the Fringe (along with bassist Richard Appleman and drummer Bob Gullotti) in order to come with an outlet to be able to improvise quite freely. The initial unit documented three albums because of their Ap-Gu-Ga label (called following the first two words of their last brands) during 1978-82. By enough time of their 4th and thus considerably final release because of their label in 1986, John Lockwood was the band’s bassist. Under that lineup there produced additional recordings for Popular Arts (1989) and Spirit Take note (1992). The Fringe continues to be fairly well-known in the Boston region and continues being a part-time group for this period.
