British-American bassist Fima Ephron may not be a well-known name, but was heard by many. He is a sought-after bass player who has played with names as diverse as ( ), , and . He is especially praised by bassists for his funky and founding playing in the band Lost Tribe and on his solo album (2001). On Songs From The Tree, Ephron does not focus on that area, but also profiles himself as a
… composer. He plays the guitar at least as gifted himself in a number of pieces that seem almost classical. On his trusted bass guitar he also leads the group in a number of melodic and solid fusion pieces by his hand. With Potter and keyboardist Kevin Hays in the ranks, it always sounds smooth and thorough. The album was recorded in New York in just one day. The work ethic and the creative energy that was released in the process almost splashes off Songs From A Tree. (MR)more
