Fulton Street Maul is an album by the American saxophonist Tim Berne, released in 1987.[1][2] It was his first album for a major label; he was working at Tower Records when Columbia Records decided to sign him.[3][4] He supported the album with a North American tour.[5] Fulton Street Maul was reissued in 1996.[6]
Fulton Street Maul was produced by Gary Lucas, a childhood friend who helped Berne get his Columbia deal.[7][8] It was only the second time Berne had recorded an album using multiple tracks.[9] Berne was backed by cellist Hank Roberts, percussionist Alex Cline, and guitarist Bill Frisell.[10] He was influenced primarily by Julius Hemphill and Eric Dolphy.[11] The group limited their solos, preferring to stick to arrangements.[12] "Federico" is an homage to Federico Fellini.[13] The album cover art was created by Steve Byram, who went on to design several other Berne album covers.[9]
