Saxophonist, flutist, composer, arranger and band leader Clayton Englar began his musical career in the San Francisco Bay Area. During the 1970's he played with and co-led a variety of jazz-oriented bands, and studied with saxophonists Joe Henderson and Mel Ellison. In 1978, Thursday Group was formed with guitarist Douglas Lichterman. This quartet performed mainly original material in a contemporary jazz vein.
After working in various local clubs for several years, the group was temporarily disbanded in 1980 as Lichterman moved to New York City and Englar to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. After recruiting a new rhythm section, they began performing again in New York. This eventually led to their first album ("Thursday Group"), co-produced by the two musicians in 1982 for Lichterman's newly-formed Pathfinder Records. By 1988, the label had grown substantially, and released Thursday Group's second album, "Uncle Mean".
Since moving to the D.C. area, Mr. Englar has also played with a wide range of local ensembles - from Latin dance bands to jazz and blues combos, the D.C. Jazz Workshop Orchestra, and various big bands . His own groups include the highly-acclaimed Windmill Saxophone Quartet, formed in 1984, and more recently, the "Jazz/World-Fusion" ensemble Equinox.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not too much; lately mostly local Borders Books stores.
