Cornmeal band biography

Cornmeal

Cornmeal has never been a band to shy away from reinvention and after over 15 years, they are proving just that as the band sets out with a reformed lineup, fresh energetic sound and a long awaited first studio album in over 9 years. A nationally recognized live music institution, Cornmeal is heavily influenced by American roots and folk music and seamlessly blends lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies into an unrivaled live performance that continues to expand upon the five-piece acoustic-electric groups' vast musical repertoire. While steeped in the tradition of the past, Cornmeal continues to forge a path all their own, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. With a growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of bluegrass and live performance.

After many false starts the long awaited studio album, Slow Street, was released May 29th, 2015. The new record features 10 original tracks and a host of guests musicians including Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass on dobro. Record

William Parker is one of the most important and creatively vital figures in jazz today, an era when the popular perception is that jazz was something that happened in the past. The New York-based bassist keeps finding new ways to move the form forward and re-arrange his sound-- about the only restriction he places on himself is that the music must be played by people together in a room on acoustic instruments (some of his work for others doesn't follow this rule). This was a productive year for Parker: he published his first book, Who Owns Music?, and these two excellent albums find him in an exploratory mood, both musically and philosophically.

Corn Meal Dance reconvenes the Raining on the Moon band he first worked with in 2002, and it's one of Parker's most immediately accessible works-- the open-ended improvisation that characterizes so much of his work has a place here, but the free elements are significantly reined in. This makes sense, given that Raining on the Moon is one of his few projects to feature vocals, and band largely follows the dexterous lead
