About Me |
|
| Charles Carrington and NuQ-Leus (pronounced nucleus) have been together since 2000. Charles formed his first group NuQ-Leus in 1982. This group disbanded in 1985, after the sudden passing of trumpeter Milton Ward. By the end of 1985, numerous personnel changes had been made. The present group, together since the beginning of 2006, is co-led and produced by Charles Carrington and Lionel Hampton alumni, Drummer Wally Gator Watson. The group has performed extensively throughout the New York Metropolitan area. All members are educators/clinicians. Each member is a gifted composer. NuQ-Leus has a unique style of straight ahead contemporary jazz; always performing with spiritual energy and power. The group plays several original compositions as well as standards, gospel-jazz, smooth jazz and contemporary covers with swing, Latin, Caribbean and African rhythms. NuQ-Leus is comprised of six key members and occasionally features a guest vocalist. The instrumentation includes: Trumpet, Alto Saxophone, Keyboards, Bass, Drums and Percussion. Each performer is renowned for their individual professionalism and musical integrity. They all have a rich history of performances and musical associations. NuQ-Leus has recorded four CD’s: 1) After The Love II Charles Carrington & NuQ-Leus 2002 www.cdbaby.com/ccarrington1 2) All To God’s Glory Charles Carrington & Friends 2004 www.cdbaby.com/ccarrington2 3) NuQ-Leus Live @ MoBay Café – Uptown 2005 www.cdbaby.com/nuqleus 4) NuQ-Leus has just finished recording a new CD Project which was eight months in the making entitled: NuQ-Leus ’07.
