Neon Egypt was active as a musical group from 1999 through late 2007. An outgrowth of the popular San Francisco improvisational jazz quartet Tabula Rasa, Neon Egypt is widely considered to have pioneered a new jazz-based hybrid of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Intuitive Music. Their sole album, Tales Of Kings, released in May of 2000, is recognized as a classic of the genre. Various songs from the album regularly populated top slots in the Improvisational Jazz and World Fusion charts on numerous Internet music stations for several years following its release. The album’s most popular song, Passage To Djibouti, has appeared in several feature settings, most notably in the 2004 art film Journey of the Dream Warrior.
Although the group’s members have now moved on to other works, its legacy of leading edge intuitive music remains. The CD Tales Of Kings is available online, and as digital song downloads through SoundClick.com and most major Internet music providers. Whether called Meditative Jazz, World Jazz, or World Fusion, Neon Egypt's offering is decidedly unique. Expressive, free-flowing saxophone melodies float gracefully over Taiko-like melodic drum lines, featuring the one-of-a-kind Shendai Ceremonial Drums.
Intuitive Music All of Neon Egypt's selections are "first takes" of spontaneously improvised Intuitive Music, recorded live. None of their pieces have a predetermined form or concept, a title, or even a key or time signature before play is begun - each is truly a unique product of the moment. Yet each also has clear musicality, satisfying coherence and unmistakable structure. The broad foundation of melodic drum and percussion music created by the Shendai Ceremonial Drums allows master jazz saxophone soloist Harrison Goldberg freedom to weave an artful musical offering in real time. The result... well, you are invited to listen for yourself! Group Members:
Instruments
Meditative Jazz / World Fusion
HARRISON GOLDBERG - Tenor, Alto, and Soprano saxophones
STEVEN MILLER - Melodic drums, gongs, bells, cymbals, and miscellaneous percussion.

This takes me back to the early 70's in San Francisco, the jazz scene was oriented this way. My favorite sounds.
Priceless!
