History
The Untempered Ensemble was founded in 1992 by Bill Cole as a trio. The first members of the group were Bill Cole, Warren Smith and Joe Daley. Later in the 1990's bassist William Parker and multi-instrumentalist Cooper-Moore joined the group. Soon after that the reed player Sam Furnace was asked to join and then at the end of the 1990's Cole's son Atticus became a member of the group, playing hand drums. This group recorded four CDs for Boxholder Records during the early 2000's and gave numerous performances, including at the Weil Recital Hall at Carnegie Music Hall in New York.
More recently bassist Shayna Dulberger became a member of the ensemble, followed by sax player Ras Moshe. The Untempered Ensemble had appeared in the Vision Festival in New York City seven times when, in 2009, the organizer of the Festival invited the group to appear again, but this time asked whether the group could include a vocalist. So, for the Vision Festival performance that year, Cole's daughter Althea SullyCole was added to the group.
