In the early 70’s, he played at Sam Rivers’ Studio Rivbea beginning long association with David S. Ware. He performed & recorded with Cecil Taylor including a 20 piece ensemble performance at Carnegie Hall in 1975 and “A Rat’s Mass” by Adrienne Kennedy at LaMa Theater 1976

Bobby Zankel:
The Brooklyn-born composer/saxophonist first began attracting attention in the early 70s for his work with Cecil Taylor’s Unit Core Ensemble (Downbeat 9/71) as a skillful young altoist with a powerful music at his fingertips. His underground reputation grew on the New York Loft Scene, where he performed with the likes of Ray Anderson, William Parker, and Sunny Murray and where he continued his apprenticeship with Taylor. Zankel became a Philadelphian in 1975 to raise his family and to expand his artistic vision without heed to commercialism or the trends of the times. Since 1975, his performances as a sideman have ranged from the Hank Mobley/Sonny Gillette Quintet, to Jymmie Merritt’s Forerunners, to the Dells, NRBQ, Odean Pope’s Saxophone Choir, Ruth Naomi Floyd, and European work with Taylor. Zankel’s intensive studies of tonality and rhythms with Maestro Dennis Sandole have lead to his development into one of the most brilliant and original composers of the 90s [which continues into the 21st century]. His alto playing has been described as a unique amalgam of the precision and rhythmic intricacy of be-bop, with the soul and drive of hard bop, and the fire, spirituality, creativity and intensity of the avant-garde.” – New Music Philadelphia
Toned:
TONED pits the fiercely analog, animalistic saxophone of Tom Weeks against the crushing digital precision of Nathan Corder’s eminently mutable networks, alongside the poly directional structures of Leo Suarez’s approach to percussion, all while maintaining a driving, rock-hard musical synthesis – following in the tradition of Roscoe Mitchell’s encounters with George Lewis’ Voyager, Bay Area legends The Hub and Possessed, and the brutally technical compositions of Disgorge. The trio’s decentralized locale, between Oakland and Philadelphia, is reflected in the nonlinear and non-hierarchical processes that construct the band’s recent self-titled release.
