        <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;Ed Roman is a Bass oracle word smith from Ontario,  Canada. Combining musical styles ranging from rock to funk and folk, Ed  Roman blends musical tapestries and stories together with dexterous  compositions of jazz and gypsy-like melodies wrapped inside an organic  fun and jammy atmosphere. In the last twenty years the  multi-instrumentalist has amassed a wealth of life and musical  experience, which is evident in the depth and originality of his music. &lt;br /&gt;Since  Ed began playing, studying and writing music in the early 80ʼs he has  diversified into many fields of the music industry including live  performance, studio musician, songwriter and teacher. His music, as well  as music he recorded as a session player has been broadcast nationwide  and has been released internationally. Ed has also toured across Canada,  United States and Europe with various musical groups. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the  past ten years Ed has written, performed and produced four CDs with his  band Special Ed and The Musically Challenged. Presently Ed  isconcentrating on his solo material manifesting in the production of  his soon to be released CD &amp;ldquo;Oracles And Ice Cream&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; If that wasnʼt  enough he is also running a private music school and a recording studio  from his home near &lt;br /&gt;Shelburne, Ontario. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edʼs music has been  described as zany (heʼs been compared to Frank Zappa). His lyrics  (sometimes quirky but always thought provoking) are based on Romanʼs  personal thoughts, experiences and even dreams. He is primarily a bass  player (considered by his peers to be one of the finest) but is just as &lt;br /&gt;comfortable and competent with a guitar, sitting behind a drum kit or keyboard or taking on lead vocal &lt;br /&gt;duties. &amp;ldquo;Music has always been a spiritual thing for me&amp;rdquo; says the musician, who often looks contentedly lost in &lt;br /&gt;the sound waves when he plays. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ffffff;&quot;&gt;Romanʼs  love of music is infectious. Although he appreciates classical music,  his enjoyment comes primarily from jazz, which, he says, allows for more  spontaneity of composition. His influences are many, including the kind  of 50s and 60s music &amp;ldquo;that could make you swoon&amp;rdquo; and the early sounds  of &lt;br /&gt;Bob Dylan, &amp;ldquo;for the way he could inspire people to think music could change the world.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Intellect in music has its own sexiness&amp;rdquo; Roman asserts. &amp;ldquo;Music is missing that &lt;br /&gt;ʻchange the worldʼ feeling. I donʼt think weʼll ever see another John Lennon.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;We may never see another John Lennon but with Edʼs soon to be released CD &lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oracles And Ice Cream&amp;rdquo; music is intelligent and sexy again....and may just change the world after all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;object classid=&quot;clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;385&quot; codebase=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;src&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/Ed Roman is a Bass oracle word smith from Ontario, Canada.
