A Celebration Of The Music Of Dave Roufberg Sealed Full Length CD : The Capt. X Fund 1999 Dave Roufberg (aka Capt. X) was an improv jazz bassist and composer. Dave was formally trained at Berkley School of Music in Boston where he formed his improv psychoband, The Lunch Factor, who played at the Knitting Factory in New York City on a regular basis. He had also recently worked with Lowry Hamner, Ted Daniel and Rich Reich. After Dave's untimely passing, his brother Adam, along with family and friends, collected some of Roufberg’s finest performances and made this compilation CD. The tribute CD features five percussionists, three trombonists, two on trumpet, and one musician each on keys, guitar, banjo, sax, vocals and cello, and, of course, Roufberg on bass. Inspired by comic bandleader Spike Jones, American composer Charles Ives, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Dixieland styles and even Bach, Roufberg takes off on a recording that is teeming with skill and silliness, with song titles such as “A Bit F*ckin’ Runny,” “Funkset Stomach,” & “Cow Hands on Broadway.” It is an intense and intellectually challenging piece of work. Ridiculous horns send the listener sprinting for the circus, while at the same time being pursued by strange gutturals, odd noises, squeaky toy sounds, crying baby vocals and other bizarre hubbub and clamor.
