Curfew are a jazz fusion band from England. Having been described in the press as "jazz rock with a Weather Report sound",〔Jack Massarik, Evening Standard: http://www.cdunsigned.com/cd.php?products_id=260〕 the band are the self-proclaimed pioneers of the ''electric jazz'' genre;〔Curfew define the "Electric Jazz" genre: http://www.curfew.co.uk/electric.html〕 combining traditional instrumentation and performance with modern MIDI techniques.〔Mark Robinson's HTFP review: http://www.alloutguitar.com/issue/2007_05_may_jun/curfew_hold_the_front_page〕 Tracks from their latest album, ''Hold the Front Page'', have appeared on radioplaylists in countries such as USA and Romania.〔Curfew's news/gigs page: http://www.curfew.co.uk/gigs.html〕 ==Early years: 1988-1995== Curfew were formed in 1988 by Martin Lawrie (Jools Holland, Alan Clayson) and Steve Marshall (Jaco Pastorius) as an outlet for their original jazz fusion compositions. The following year, the band augmented their lineup before gigging in 1990 with Bill Morrison on drums and Julian Costello on sax. Following Morrison's departure in 1992, Shan Chana joined the band. With vocalist Rena, the band appeared at venues such as the Jazz Café in Camden, before entering the studio. The band produced a number of demos (which would later become the basis for their debut album).〔Curfew's band history: http://www.curfew.co.uk/about.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curfew (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
