Stickman
Stickman boasts an impressive repertoire of engaging original compositions, topped off with arrangements of modern jazz and fusion classics. All of the group’s members are contributing composers and arrangers and, stylistically, their sound is a musical melting pot. Straight ahead, modern funk, and world beat rhythms, combined with an adventurous compositional style, are fused into a tight ensemble sound with a creative jazz spirit at its heart. In the 90’s, Stickman opened for David Sanborn at the Mellon Jazz Festival in Pittsburg, PA, and comedian Jamie Foxx. They have performed at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center, DC’s legendary Blues Alley jazz club, Keystone Korner in Baltimore, and at the Rosslyn, VA jazz festival. Stickman’s line-up contains Peter Fraize on tenor and soprano saxophones, Jim Levy on keyboards, Matt Rinker on guitar, Liza Albright on bass, Francis Thompson on drums, and Dawn Elliott Robinson on vocals. All six are accomplished performers in their own right and have pooled their individual talents to give the group its distinctive, modern sound.
