Long long ago I posted The Fents' wonderful EP from 1979, back here. Their discography can be seen here. I always thought the 1983, 1987 albums were not quite as fiercely creative as the EP. Anyways, the main creator and keyboardist was or is Adam Holzman who had a wonderful subsequent career, as you can read there:
Born on February 15, 1958 in New York City, son of Jac Holzman and Nina Merrick. Keyboard player with Miles Davis 1985-1989. Currently playing with Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. Also toured and recorded with Grover Washington Jr., Chaka Khan, Steps Ahead, Wayne Shorter, Wallace Roney and his own band, Adam Holzman & Brave New World. Led Los Angeles jazz-rock band The Fents back in the 80's. Also teaches in the jazz department of the New School University in New York City.
So it's always interesting to hear what these greats from the past are up to nowadays. His recent album is all instrumental furious fusion, of the kind we've heard quite a bit in the last couple of years (such as McGill, Manring, Stevens, or Ritchie DeCarlo).
