Tia Fuller - Angelic Warrior - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With HEALING SPACE, saxophonist / flutist / composer Tia Fuller continues building on the buzz she's created with her high profile performances in New York City. Between touring with Beyoncé Knowles, teaching, mentoring, and being an InchIn DemandInch session player, Fuller finds time to return to her first love - Jazz. On HEALING SPACE, her Mack Avenue debut, Fuller is backed by a seasoned team of young, talented players including Miki Hayama, Mirian Sullivan, Kim Thompson, Khalil Kwame Bell and Mack Avenue tag mates Sean Jones and Ron Blake.

2010 album from the acclaimed saxophonist, bandleader, arranger, composer and educator who is best known for her work with Beyoncé and Esperanza Spalding.

Saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Tia Fuller uses the process of diamonds forming under four levels of extreme pressure and heat as a metaphor for the time she spent honing her artistic craft. When looking up the term 'diamond cut,' you'll learn that it was not necessarily pertaining to the shape but to the proportioning and the balance as to which the highest amount of light is reflected through the diamond. The process serves as a direct correlation to her teaching and playing. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Terri Lyne Carrington, the album finds Fuller leading two superb rhythm sections, both of which contain some of jazz's brightest luminaries - bassist Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, then bassist James Genus and drummer Bill Stewart. Adding texture and harmonic support of several compositions are guitarist Adam Rogers and organist Sam Yahel.
