2006 - Trio By Starlight  

Royce Campbell   |   Tom Baldwin   |   Hod O'Brien

This CD is a concept project; all the songs are based on the harmonic chord progressions of famous standards, but Campbell replaces the familiar melodies with new ones. Admittedly the concept is not entirely new, but Campbell decided to challenge himself by improvising the new melodies, rather than composing them. This creates a unique sound overall that separates this CD from the other mainstream jazz CDs.

2006 - Elegy to a Friend

Royce Campbell  |   Ratzo Harris  |  Terrence Cook  | Stan Gage

A re-release of his 1993 recording, the CD reveals the more experimental side of Campbell's playing and composing, a side of Campbell that has, until now, only been exposed in concert. Accompanying him into the world of experimental jazz are woodwind player Terrence Cook, bassist Ratzo Harris, and the late Stan Gage on drums to whom the CD is dedicated. Stan Gage died at the much too young age of 47 without much recorded output, so hopefully this CD will help to expose the great talents that Stan possessed.

2006 - Gypsy Soul

Royce Campbell  |   Bob Bowen  |  Phil Riddle

Royce Campbell's initial venture into the realm of gypsy jazz guitar.

I know that others can do that much better than I ever could.
