About Jimmy Pitts
Jimmy Pitts began his progressive journey as keyboardist/composer with the avant-garde metal band Scholomance, on The End Records, in the early 1990′s. Since then he has performed a diverse array of music, from jazz festivals with the Mikhal Caldwell group, to performing on cds ranging from obscure Classical, soundtrack, goth rock, and world music, to the frenetic metal intensity of Ron Jarzombek’s Spastic Ink. Along with his primary project, MALS recording artists The Fractured Dimension, Jimmy has worked with such acclaimed artists as Marcel Coenen and Alex Machacek. With a goal of constant musical curiosity and artistic growth, there were two projects with Marco Minnemann put into motion. One is an unreleased heavy fusion quartet with fretless guitar wizard Fountainhead and bassist Jerry Twyford. The other is Jimmy’s own version of Normalizer 2, featuring a wealth of virtuoso guitarists and bassists, a saxophonist, a violinist, and of course, bombastic keyboards and drums. His addition to the Normalizer 2 family is entitled “Pitts Minnemann Project – 2 L 8 2 B Normal” and is based on various mood swings over the course of its composition and thus reflects a broad range of musical styles. 2 L 8 2 B Normal was self-released under the Twist Tone label in June 2012, but will be officially released by Russian record label MALS (www.mals.ru) in early October.
