TRANSFUSION

2011 release. Highly recommended debut CD from “groove” keyboardist Art “Spike” Schloemer. “Spike” has assembled an incredible all-star roster of guest fusion musicians including guitarist, Scott Henderson, bassists Bunny Brunel & Hadrien Feraud, drummers Dennis Chambers & Kirk Covington & Bob Franeschini on sax. Art began his piano studies at the age of six and started performing professionally throughout Europe after graduating from the Conservatory of Music. During his productive career as a pianist, composer, bandleader and educator, Art has performed in many different settings and styles. His versatile approach has allowed him to erase the artificial boundary line between contemporary jazz, rock, electro-funk and world. His playing, like his compositions …ranges across panoramas of mood and emotion, all colored with the freedom that comes from possessing remarkable facility. Often compared to Jasper Van’t Hof for his style of attacking the keys with intense passion, Art’s solos also reflect intellect, technical skills and a storyteller’s way with a line. Art describes his music as “second generation fusion…electrically charged, rhythmically intense euphony with the element of surprise”.
