Well Tempered Madness
Based in Las Vegas, Well Tempered Madness is the brainchild of guitarist Steve Fansler, who has worked with jazz greats Tony Guerrero, Quincy Jones, Clark Terry, Ed Shaughnessy, and Louis Belson, and is inspired by many different genres and all of the music that he's had the chance to play. Two years ago, the band played their first live gigs and their self-titled debut album was recorded in 2023. Well Tempered Madness features Stephen Fansler on guitar and vocals; Uli Geissendoerfer on piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Hammond, and synths; Tom Bolton on drums; Mike Merritt on bass; Jeanette Jurado (a member of the multi-platinum group Exposé) on vocals (tracks #2 and #5) and Jose "Pepe" Jimenez on percussion.

Well Tempered Madness's self-titled debut is a full-course meal of jazz, fusion and blues, played with gusto. All band members can hand over a lengthy resume, having chalked up decades worth of expertise. It must have been liberating to play something fresh and new. -Here Comes the Flood
