Progressing alongside guitarist Carlos Santana from his early on Afro-Cuban stone in addition to pop-based successes to his experimentation alongside jazz fusion, drummer Michael Shrieve later on released a string of fine solo recordings of his own. This 1 features guitar hero Bill Frisell in addition to the ever-inventive organist Wayne Horvitz for a rather divergent ready featuring ethereal soundscapes, loose grooves, in addition to crunching opuses. Here, Shrieve provides sturdy backbeats to coincide alongside only about nicely placed fills in addition to his needlelike implementations of the dynamic. This endeavor highlights Frisell's wily in addition to rather slithery guitar work, enhanced past times the glowing sonic characteristics of the production, when viewed upon every minute a whole. The band is apt to soar skyward via climactic overtures inward concert alongside a crash-and-burn methodology. Needless to say, this thing represents a strong concoction of jazz fusion melded alongside folksy themes in addition to an avant-garde-type swing vamp, evidenced on "The Glass Tent." Yet, after a string of enterprising solo outings, Shrieve's solo career quieted downwards to a nigh whisper during the slowly '90s in addition to into the novel millennium.
You never know what you lot are going to larn alongside this type of CD (great musician's solo effort) then this was a rattling pleasant surprise. I had a feeling going inward that it was going to last new-agey but it's a corporation instrumental stone album alongside only about swell guitar playing from Bill Frisell in addition to Wayne Horvitz on organ. Every vocal was strong in addition to no ii resemble each other, a hard chore on an instrumental album but this guy tin post away write music. There is likewise a Chris Whitley composition. If I had to compare it, I gauge I would state it's much closer to Jeff Beck/John McLaughlin than Steve Vai/Joe Satriani.
