The Fay Victor Ensemble is a voice-guitar-bass-drum unit that performs original material which in many cases provide structure for free improvisational flight; each member contributing equally to proceedings. No divas walking around here. Thats the idea.
Fay Victor - voice
Raised in New York, from a Trinidadian background, she started performing later than usual and within a short time, Fay performed under her own name in clubs in and around New York City back in the early nineties. During this time Fay recorded and co-wrote with David Anthony a minor dance hit with 'You Make Me Happy' that made it to #7 on Billboards Club Playlist in 1991. In 1996, Fay made the permanent move to Europe where she started a serious singing career focusing initially on jazz repertory material, which produced gigs and festivals all over the continent, spawned 4 CD's as a headliner and several collaborations on other projects.
Fays vocal style has since matured into a vocal-and-band concept that freely matches rhythmic energy, brooding intensity and all out improvisation, where the voice mostly functions as "just" one of the band. In 2003, Fay relocated home to New York City where she released Lazy Old Sun in October 2004. Lazy Old Sun (the Dutch foundation, Thuiskopie Fonds offered up a sizeable grant for the project) garnered rave reviews and made it clear that this is a vocalist with a sound all her own and with an ear even more tilted toward arresting and original repertoire choices.
Fay has appeared at New York venues including the Bowery Poetry Club, The Stone, Zebulon, Sweet Rhythm, Roulette, Nuyorican Poets Café, CBGBs, Cornelia Street Café, Tonic, Barbes, Galapagos Art Space and the 55 Bar. Fay has performed with such notables as the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Lawrence Butch Morris, Misha Mengelberg, Steve Coleman, Michael Moore and Gary Lucas.
She has been described as a thinking persons jazz vocalist , and a a true find, a real original.
Anders Nilsson - guitar
A bandleader in his own right, Anders Nilsson heads up Swedish-based improv-rock-jazz outfit, Aorta and he has had two recording with the band on the Swedish based-Kopasetic Label. Blood, released in 2004 and the sophomore effort Janus was released in 2005. Currently Anders is teaching, performing and writing for Aorta.
Anders Nilsson grew up in Eslöv, Sweden and early on joined a rock band. He studied Jazz studies at Malmö Academy of Music. In 2002, he moved to New York City and since then hes earned a Master of Jazz Studies at City College of New York. Anders has played with musicians including Kermit Driscoll, Sabir Mateen, Ken Filiano, Michael Evans, Raoul Björkenheim, Ras Moshe, Daniel Carter and Matt Lavelle, amongst others. He has composed film music and collaborated with dancers and is a member of Sebastian Schunkes Orchestra (Berlin).
Ken Filiano - double bass, effects
Noted for his accomplishments in jazz, spontaneous improvisation, classical, and inter-disciplinary performance with dance and spoken word, Ken Filiano fuses the rich traditions of the double bass with his own seemingly limitless, often astonishing, inventiveness.Ken leads two groups for which he also composes: a quartet with Michael Attias, Tony Malaby, and Michael T.A. Thompson, and a quintet with Attias, Jackson Krall, Steve Swell, and Tomas Ulrich.
His prolific output also includes performances and/or recordings with Roy Campbell, Nels Cline, Ted Dunbar, Bob Feldman, Georgian Chamber Orchestra, Dennis Gonzalez, Vinny Golia, Lou Grassi, Hayes Greenfield, Phil Haynes, Fred Hess, Jason Hwang, Joseph Jarman, Sheila Jordan (with the Aardvark Orchestra), Raul Juarena, Joe Labarbera, Joelle Leandre, Frank London, Manhattan Chamber Orchestra, Tina Marsh, Warne Marsh, Bob Meyer, Dom Minasi, Hafez Modirzadeh, Butch Morris, Barre Phillips, Roberta Piket, Don Preston, Bob Rodriguez, Roswell Rudd, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Ursel Schlicht, Paul Smoker, Chris Sullivan, Peeter Uuskyla, Biggi Vinkeloe, Kenny Wessel, Andrea Wolper, Pablo Ziegler.
