The Visitors

The Visitors were today’s jazz quintet out of Philadelphia led by saxophone-playing brothers Carl Grubbs (alto) and Earl Grubbs (tenor and soprano) and in addition featuring Sid Simmons on piano, John Goldsmith on drums, and a Stanley Clarke on bass. Carl and Earl in fact required sax lessons in the middle-’50s from non-e apart from John Coltrane, who simply been dating their cousin Naima (Coltrane later on married her). To state that Coltrane was an impact will be an understatement, so when the brothers created the Site visitors in the first ’70s, observers mentioned that this group sounded like two Coltranes playing simultaneously. The Visitors documented four interesting albums for Muse Information between 1972 and 1975: Rebirth, IN MY OWN Youngsters, Neptune, and Motherland. Earl Grubbs exceeded in 1989. Carl Grubbs offers continued as a dynamic jazz performer, composer, and educator, and operates his personal record label, B&C Productions.
