BIO
In the early days of the Art Rock Movement, Jeff Cannata formed the prog rock band, Jasper Wrath along with Michael Soldan, Robert Gianotti and Phil Stone. After signing to MGM Records, their first LP, recorded at Phil Ramone’s Studio (A& R) in New York , it received rave reviews. After extensive auditions, looking for the right additional "voice", James Christian (House Of Lords) was added to the lineup, along with keyboard prodigy Jeff Batter and guitar virtuoso, Scott Zito
Equipped with full light show and effects, the band toured the Northeast to packed houses until 1976. Because of commercial and directional musical differences, that year, the group disbanded.
1983
The next few years Cannata, begins composing a dozen or so new pieces, along with writing partner Michael Soldan, Cannata assumes vocal duties and offers the demos, to then manager David Wolff and is signed to Portrait / CBS Records.........Arc Angel is born. The LP is a monster hit in Europe.
1988
After being contacted by record executive Yves Dessca at (Carrere / CBS) Paris, Cannata is offered a deal he couldn’t refuse. A recording budget that would enable the constuction of a complete 24 track analog studio at home, and to write and produce the new material for the next CD. A video for the track "FortuneTeller" was also shot and directed by Scott Calvert (Pink Floyd) The album was " Images Of Forever".........Rated "top 10 best melodic / prog rock album" (Kerrang Magazine 4 star.)
1993
Cannata receives a call from label president Mark Ashton, (Now and Then Records UK) to review his latest material. Contracts were offered and signed . "Watching The World " was recorded and released worldwide later that year.

" What ever happened to the band Jasper Wrath."Cannata, prompted by associate John DuBuque, compiled a 26 song double CD of the bands early, studio, live and demo recordings.

Every song is good "Very rare."
author: Ryan Hamilton
This CD takes you right back to the Eighties and ninetys. Their is so much Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel to be found in this album. I can't recommend this CD enough, it is a really great piece of art done by the multi talented Jeff Cannata! If you like progressive rock you cant not like this, bye it after you listen to it because you will eventually.

introduction with the beautiful new music of Jeff Cannata
author: René
ARC ANGEL – CANNATA
Tamorok
(OXFORD CIRCUS OXF002)
On Anthology 1969-1976 by Jasper Wrath from 1996 there was with Big Life already a foretaste of the new album by Jeff Cannata to be heard. Six years later this foretaste appears to have given an excellent view from the music on Tamorok: first-rate produced rock that demonstrates affinity with crystal clear AOR as well as with modern symphonic rock, in which there is enough space for amongst others sharp and slurring guitar-solo’s, flawless, sometimes Yes-like choruses and attractive, but surely also bombastic keyboards. As far as that is concerned the opening-song and title-track is telling everything. Multi-instrumentalist (drums, guitars, synthesizers) and singer Cannata puts down a strong as well subtle song, which is being performed to perfection and in which the oriental flute-play of Robert Gianotti (lead guitarist in other tracks) occupies an important position. Cannata is someone who has never shunned social criticism in his lyrics, with which he also propagates a certain amount of charity. He does it here also: Prisoner In The Hole Land for instance puts into words very well the powerlessness that many will feel with the long-term conflict between Palestinians and Israeli. That feeling of fierce is also in Dangerous Game and in the closing piece Kings Of Nations, which is interlarded by sounds of war, although there is also space for a sensitive ballad like Stay. Next to seven new tracks there is a new recorded version of Stars, from the only CD by Arc Angel (1983). From the Cannata-albums Images Of Forever (1988) and Watching The World (1993) the first three tracks are also added. The music from these two bands was more into the AOR, although the mentioned trademarks were already amply present, though in smaller proportions. This all makes Tamorok, which has been released under a joining together of these group-names, an introduction with the beautiful new music by Jeff Cannata as well as a veiled compilation of his older work, which isn’t available at the moment.
