From the San Francisco poetry underground comes the voice of Robert Anbian,
backed by electronic percussionist E. ôDocö Smith and Bay Area sax legend
Charles Unger, plus keyboardist Sam Peoples and bassist Mike Shea. UFQ makes
its own magic inspired by the music of Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, and
Bobby Hutcherson, with infusions of Brian Eno, the Grateful Dead, and
something else. Notes Anbian: ôI call the post-fusion, world beat jazz these
guys play æacid-bopÆ û itÆs got more possibilities for poetry than the
typical verse-chorus cadences of popular music.ö
Known for his lyrical-epic ôWEö series, and such topical effronteries as
ôHaikus for the White House,ö Anbian has been described by fellow poet
Richard Hack as ôa passionate virtuoso steeped in these times and deep with
traditionö [whose] ôpoetry crackles with currency û hiply linguistic turns
of natural originality, rhythmically brimming with a tempestuous taste of
ecstasy, reason, and love.ö Dusty Dog Reviews declared him ôa genius or a
Venusian.ö
