Product Description "On record, as in concert, the fellinis glide easily and often from frenzied excursions to plainitive exotic melodies to hypnotic grooves. They revolve in three disparate orbits. Sometimes they're off in their own corners of the universe, and sometimes they're aligned perfectly." Downbeat Magazine - September 1998 From the Label "Self released on the fellinis' brounsoun label, Out Through The N Door has the kinetic, emotionally charged feel of a once in a lifetime jam session. Offset by Karnaz's unpredictable rhythm work, Kenyatta blows poignant melodies and temperamental flutters against the Redeemer's jumping bass groove. The result is all at once funky, avant-garde and truly difficult to describe." About the Artist Black Edgar Kenyatta, also known as David Boyce, and the Professor, also known as Kevin Carnes, first played music together in 1989 on the day San Francisco quaked. Ayman Mobarak, who attended Cornell with David, arrived a few months later and played bass. The Redeemer, also known as Kirk Peterson, became a fellini in 1995. Ayman left to program software. broun fellinis have progressed from standing room only crowds at their Tuesday night sessions at the Elbo Room in San Francisco's Mission District to successful tours all over America.
