Not Just Another High Note Trumpeter, Keith Fiala Releases Phenomenal New Jazz Fusion/Smooth Jazz Album, “New Beginnings”
Life is full of new beginnings for Austin, Texas based horn player, Keith Fiala. Fiala is an Austin Winds endorsed trumpet artist, and one of the most exciting, innovative, versatile trumpet players and educators/clinicians on the music scene today.
A First Call trumpeter, in Austin and throughout the Lone Star State, Keith co- founded, and was a performer with, the celebrated R&B group, Memphis Train Revue. Fiala toured the world performing with his mentor, the legendary trumpeter and bandleader, Maynard Ferguson.
In 2017, Keith moved to Los Angeles and joined his long-time hero, ten-time Grammy® winner, Arturo Sandoval, to assist him in all facets of his career. Keith assisted Arturo in several facets, such as road manager, audio engineer, video producer, as well as performing on stage.
In addition to sharing the stage with Sandoval, Fiala has performed with other jazz greats, such as Gordon Goodwin, Wayne Bergeron, Randy Brecker, The Temptations, Brian Lynch, Allen Vizzutti, Bill Watrous, Dan Higgins, Charles Davis, Walt Johnson, Tom “Bones” Malone, and a host of others.
Now, Fiala has moved back to Austin for several new beginnings and has released his album of ten original smooth jazz fusion tracks that was four years in the making.
“When I started working with Arturo and practicing with him, I kind of felt like a Phoenix. I had to reinvent the kind of player I was. I wanted to become an artist, not just be a trumpet player. So, I burned the old me down to the ground and reinvented myself… hence, “New Beginnings,” Fiala said.
A host of top-rate musical talent joins Keith on the album, including Johnny Friday on drums, Tyler Honsel and Lannie Hilboldt on bass, Jamie Hilboldt and Arturo Sandoval, Keith Fiala, and Dr. Ben Irom on keys/synths, Marc Lionetti and Ken Berry on guitars. Here, Keith dives into different musical styles that include Bolero, funk-infused jazz, as well as ethereal “New Age” jazz, that presents the listener with an exhilarating musical journey.
