Forget Me Not

MaD Fusion

     

The Herskowitz Rozenblatt Project renamed "MaDFusion" represents the new frontier in musical collaboration. Pianist Matt Herskowitz, drummer David Rozenblatt and bassist Mat Fieldes draw upon diverse musical cultures and genres to forge a completely new sound which defies labeling. The music is a progressive blend of jazz and classical traditions with world music, funk, club, pop and hip-hop. MaDFusion's first album, Forget Me Not (released under the band's former name "HRP"), has received worldwide acclaim, prompting musicians like Dave Brubeck to write “This is the final straw. I’d better retire now,” and Barry Manilow to write "I'm serious when I say your band is the most thrilling music I've heard in years. It gives me hope for the future of music."
Influenced by their experiences with great music and musicians from around the world, MaDFusion brings an eclectic slant to its musical soundscape. Performances include high-energy bursts of virtuosity interspersed with contemplative, soul-searching respites. MaDFusion consistently dazzles audiences with the unexpected through scripted content and improvisation.
MaDFusion has appeared at major music festivals in Europe, Canada and the United States, and has been featured in performances and recordings with Absolute Ensemble, Paquito D'Rivera, Lew Soloff, Dave Taylor, Marcel Khalife, Dhafer Yousef and Daniel Schnyder, among others.
