CAST: Coryell Auger Sample TrioIn July of 2007 while doing a gig with Julian's father Larry Coryell, Karma and Julian were introduced minutes before walking onstage together. It was quite a special evening and a strong connection was made. After the show they spoke about doing something together and Nick's name was brought up. In early August they all got together for the first time and wrote an album in four hours.
Julian Coryell – guitar >>> Press photos After a day of getting sounds CAST! went into Julian's studio in Venice and spent 3 days cutting the album. The strategy was simple: Play down the list, get lunch, do it again. No headphones were used in the making of the record. Just three guys in a room playing. "We basically recorded a live album in the studio. We gave ourselves an opportunity which is so rare in today's clinical approach to recording, we just played."

Julian
Coryell has been playing and recording music since childhood with
everyone from his father (legendary jazz guitarist Larry Coryell) to Carole
King, Jewel and Aimee Mann. An Alumnus of the Berklee College of Music,
he's also performed with Dave Brubeck, Herbie Hancock and Billy Cobham.
He's produced legendary singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, and recently
played to sold out crowds at the world famous Budokan in Tokyo with Japanese
rock star Kazuyah Yoshii. Julian's most recent musical passion is CAST!,
an eclectic jazz trio with drummer Karma Auger and bassist Nick Sample.
Says Julian, "CAST! is my opportunity to take what my father has
given me and run with it". CAST! has recently completed their first
full length CD and will tour extensively in '08.
Nicklas
Sample began his musical education as a young child watching his father,
jazz legend Joe Sample. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Nicklas has gained
over 20 years experience in the music business learning all creative and
business aspects of the industry first-hand. Nicklas immersed himself
in the LA scene as a professional bass player, playing both electric and
upright with the local talent such as Nikka Costa, Zoo Story, Daniel Cage,
Jakob Dylan, Duke Daniels and Alison Sudol of “A Fine Frenzy”
(whom he has also co-written songs with). He is also the bass player and
member of “The Crusaders” and the “Joe Sample Trio”.
Forty years of experience in the music business is an unprecedented amount
of information to gain in just the few years Nicklas has been working
with his father. “Joe Sample is the best teacher I could ever have”,
“I’m learning from the best”.
Karma
Auger's musical education began close to the beginning of his life.
His earliest memories are of his father, legendary jazz keyboardist Brian
Auger playing electric piano at the house in London. At age 2 Karma was
already threading the tape on his father's reel to reel and plugging in
headphones to listen to dad's new masters. At age 3 he began playing piano
which he still playes today but it wasn't until age 20 that he found his
true passion; Drums. Since age 21 Karma has been touring and/or engineering/producing
tracks for his father and a huge list of world class artists including
Eric Burdon (The Animals), Robby Krieger (The Doors) and Billy Cobham
to name a few. His understanding of the business rounds out his musical
education which Karma owes greatly to his father. " My father has
given me a priceless education and I am lucky enough to work with him
today."
