		As a son of a Baptist minister, it is easy to connect the dots as to why Brian Blade is a spiritual man. But if you have listened to his last two Blue Note albums with his Fellowship, you know he's music is also very spiritual.
		BRIAN BLADE: Kenny, I never met anyone who was so disciplined to practice daily, to try and perfect what he does, as far as we can perfect things.
		BRIAN BLADE: Since Jon and I met in school, ten years ago now, maybe more, I don't know, there was always this idea that we should put a group together and play, play our music.

	Brian Blade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brian Blade (born 1970 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is an American jazz drummer and composer.
		While continuing to work with Fellowship, he has been a member of Wayne Shorter's most recent quartet and also participated in the "Directions in Music" band, a band dedicated to the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, featuring Michael Brecker, Herbie Hancock, and Roy Hargrove.
		Blade has also recorded or performed with Joni Mitchell, Bill Frisell, Emmylou Harris, Daniel Lanois, and others.

		Ask Brian Blade, who at twenty-seven is already a seasoned veteran of many prestigious albums and tours, what he needs to hear in music, and with characteristic sensitivity and humility he replies, "It's more like what I need to feel in it.
		The festival Blade speaks of is the inspiration for the album's first track, "Red River Revel." Subtly blending meditative pedal steel guitar flourishes with the straight-ahead, the song hints at Blade's roots.
		Blade also dipped into New Orleans culture, playing in street parades, clubs and coffehouses throughout the crescent city.

		But what makes Louisiana-born Brian Blade special is that he is more of a colorist than a showman, a drummer who, like Billy Higgins, prefers to set moods that go with the grooves.
		Blade's melodic gifts got him work with Joshua Redman, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Joni Mitchell, who lends her wispy vocals to "Steadfast"--an elegiac meditation on the late-1990s rash of U.S. school shootings--and the CD's coda, "Trembling." If you ever plan to travel across the U.S., this recording will make an excellent soundtrack.
		Led by Brian Blade's masterful drumming(not to mention guitar/singing ability) and musicianship, this band is one of the few on the current scene who has discovered its collective voice, one which speaks of music with a deeper meaning and spirit.

	Jazz Reviews of the Blue Note
		Brian Blade, the brilliant 30-year-old drummer who first became known to jazz audiences as part of Joshua Redman's band, has for the last few years been pursuing an original kind of country-gospel-jazz spread with hyperearnest emotion, with a band Mr.
		Blade, one of those rare jazz drummers artistically powerful enough to direct the sound of a whole ensemble.

	May 2000 - Popular Music and Jazz
		The vision of Brian Blade may be too singular for his emergence as the next jazz fountainhead, but his originality and strong melodic feeling are no less precious and essential to the music's growth.
		Blade is a 29-year-old drummer who first gained notice for his cogent, invigorating support of hard-blowing saxophonists Kenny Garrett and Joshua Redman.
		The colors of this unusual blend of saxes and guitars are fully exploited by Blade the composer, and passionately delivered by a talented young band consisting of the saxophonists Myron Walden and Melvin Butler, the guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, the pedal steel guitarist Dave Easley, the pianist Jon Cowherd, and the bassist Chris Thomas.

	Dave Easley
		The Blade group takes a fairly arranged approach to the music, which is mostly written by Brian Blade and pianist John Cowherd.
		Since the Brian Blade Fellowship includes piano and six string guitar, the composing members can be forgiven for not fully exploiting the harmonic possibilities of the pedal steel.
		In addition to the Brian Blade Fellowship and 3 Now 4, he is closely associated with Coco Robicheaux, a blues-rooted songwriter known for his spiritual bent and psychedelic voodoo image.

	Brian Blade - english biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Louisiana-born, Brian Blade grew up in Shreveport, then New Orleans, where he distilled the unique drumming styles and musical heritage of the nation's spiritual underbelly into a powerfully swinging percussive trademark.
		Nurtured under the watchful eyes of Ellis Marsalis and New Orleans Dixie-drum masters Johnny Vidacovich and Herlin Riley, Blade learned to find his 'knit in the blanket' of sounds and styles.
		The line-up of Fellowship, Brian's band, is as potent as its leader's musical skills: Jon Cowherd, piano and Wurlitzer, Christopher Thomas on bass, Melvin Butler, tenor and soprano sax, Myron Walden, alto sax, Jeff Parker, guitar; and Dave Easley, pedal steel guitar.

	Brian Blade Perceptual CD
		Brian Blade Fellowship: Brian Blade (vocals, acoustic guitar, drums); Melvin Butler (soprano & tenor saxophones); Myron Walden (alto saxophone, bass clarinet); John Cowherd (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, pump organ); Kurt Rosenwinkel (acoustic & electric guitars); Dave Easley (pedal steel guitar); Chris Thomas (acoustic bass).
		It is evident that this is very personal music for Blade and his Fellowship; for the listener, it is a glimpse into the creative mind of one of the most mesmerizing percussionists in jazz.
		The guitar of Kurt Rosenwinkel and the pedal steel glissandos of Dave Easley blend uniquely with Myron Walden's gentle sax and clarinet tones throughout the set, and it is obvious that Blade is continuously striving to produce a particular mood for each piece.

	Hostboard.com, Your Message Board Partner:: Brian Blade video clip
		Brian is a very fun drummer to watch...
		Many musicians can simply play ANY piece note for note(Vinnie comes to mind I guess and there are tons of others), but lose the emotion behind the music in sum cases, lacking the ability to show feeling in their roles within the band setting.
		Perhaps Blade allowed the music itself to move "into" him and flowed with it instead of simply hitting the right bottoms or being concerned with the personal bias of other drummers in the room.

		Best known by jazz fans for his three years behind the drum kit with saxophone phenom Joshua Redman, Blade is just as likely to be found on the road with Joni Mitchell or in the studio with Seal.
		At Loyola, Blade became friends with a number of musicians who have figured prominently in his life for the past decade, including pianist Jon Cowherd, bassist Christopher Thomas, guitarist-producer Daniel Lanois and saxophonists Victor Goines, Kenny Garrett and Joshua Redman.
		Just saw Brian last night play with Joshua Redman at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianaplois and was totally blown away by his skill and technique.

		Brian’s blade design is unique too, with its asymmetrical spine facets, high-hollow grind and deep belly with recurve.

		Brian Blade Fellowship Perceptual (Blue Note) To get the gig as Joni Mitchell's drummer, you'd have to display unusual versatility and a courage to break convention using a soft touch but a strong vision.
		Tunes such as 'Evinrude-Fifty (Trembling)', about Blade's boyhood boat rides with his father in Louisiana, and the three-part suite "Variations of a Bloodline" are a progression of resonant musical details that unfold with the narrative arc of masterful short stories.
		I just thought that given her experience, she was very restrained and upbeat--it was heartening to me to hear that she seems to be in a pretty good place in spite of having been run through the music mill a few times.

		Brian shows why he is one of the hippest guys to come around in the last 20 years when it comes to straight-ahead.
		However a friend of mine, saw him with Herbie Hancock in a Trio situation, and were clearly dissappointed about Blades' effort.
		The first time the music and his playing was awesome but the second time the music seemed too abstract that it was just impossible to follow...but i definetely liked his playing the first time....great control over dynamics..

		A superb band--including Brian Blade, Mark Isham, Larry Klein, and Greg Leisz--provides a sinewy, sympathetic framework well-suited to the palette of jazz, folk, and pop colors that Mitchell daubs on her songs.
		Adding further intimacy to the performance is a circular stage design, a small audience, and a welcome lack of "big" production effects; instead, Mitchell indulges her second career as a painter through a pre-show stroll around a gallery of her visual works.
		Brian Blade, Larry Klein, Mark Isham, and Greg Leisz have no problem convincing the captivated audience that they are the typical jazz professionals she's always been known to be accompanied by.
