Return To One

RTO's long sorrid history will have to be recounted some other time. For now, lets speak of the quartet period - 1999-2003. Lee Elderton, Ward Baxter, Nathan Hubbard and Josh Jones for most of that time, and with Justin Grinnell taking over for Josh 2002-2003. Three CDs - promises (1999), hopes and dreams (2000) and firecliffs (2001). Several tours and more gigs than i want to remember. A good band.

Lee Elderton/Nathan Hubbard

 

The Elderton/Hubbard Duo was a working group from 1999-2003. During this time we played in a wide variety of circumstances, from formal concerts to a series of concerts in a parking structure. The duos music is documented on the CD Lee Elderton/Nathan Hubbard (C&PMCD003).

 The ensemble Plexus was formed in 1996. Originally, the ensemble was a large group of multiple horn players with vibraphone, guitar, bass and drums as a rhythm section. This slowly changed into a quartet of voice, vibraphone, bass and drums. We often performed as a trio with me covering vibes, congas and small percussion, especially when Dave Golia took one of his extended sojourns to various parts of the globe. Plexus played a strange combination of music, including originals, our own arrangement of standards and a few Tom Waits covers. Kate Conklin was (at that time) writing words to standards (Blue in Green, etc.) as well as adding words to my compositions (in a sense, etc.). Add this to Kates originals where she played acoustic guitar and various voice/percussion or poetry/percussion pieces and you've got an idea what we were up to. We performed mostly in coffeeshops as well as playing a few recitals for Kate. Good friends, good music.
