Advanced jazz stone fusion yesteryear Dutch guitar monster, Richard Hallebeek, alongside Lale Larson (keys) in addition to Bas Conelissen (drums), in addition to featuring Shawn Lane (guitar) & Brett Garsed (guitar).
This projection brings together a grouping of exciting jazz stone musicians playing genuine compositions alongside intense improvisations. No endless, un-coordinated numbers. No boring, "heard-it-all-before" songwriting. Just the real best inwards high energy, progressive in addition to moreover, complex music.
Richard Hallebeek is in all probability best known for his 1995 album, Generator, released on Mark Varney's Legato label. Jamming along at the tender historic menses of 23 alongside guitar legends Carl Verheyen, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, Scott Kinsey in addition to Dan Gilbert he wrote the bulk of the album's tunes, proving he was a vocalism to move reckoned with. Richard has studied jazz in addition to improvisation at the Amsterdam Conservatory; he also studied for a yr at the GIT inwards L.A. alongside Brett Garsed.
Lale Larson (keys) has worked closely alongside highly respected guitarist, Todd Duane (with whom he appeared on Mark Varney's compilation CD Guitar on the Edge every bit the solely keyboard soloist). Between 1996-99 Lale composed in addition to recorded The Seven Deadly Sins, a highly master copy concert inwards vii movements which contains everything from acoustic pianoforte in addition to jazz to thrash metal. Around the same fourth dimension he also wrote several pianoforte pieces, 2 of which were performed yesteryear pianist Joakim Olsson on 17/5/96 at the Royal Conservatory inwards Copenhagen.
Sebastiaan Cornelissen started playing drums when he was only five years old. At the historic menses of 17, he began his studies at The Conservatory of Amsterdam. During that fourth dimension he formed jazz/fusion group, Isotope, along alongside instructor in addition to well-known Dutch pianoforte virtuoso, Rob van Bavel. They choose since released 2 albums: Isotope in addition to Perception of the Beholder (Munich records). Besides Isotope, Sebastiaan also performs alongside his quartet featuring Leonardo Amuedo, in addition to a real exciting projection alongside highly respected guitarist Eef Albers.
And if the to a higher house players aren't exciting enough, read on. The CD includes none other than legendary guitar virtuosos Shawn Lane in addition to Brett Garsed.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Dutch Richard Hallebeek is fairly known inwards so-called guitar society. He graduated from Hilversum Conservatory in addition to Musician's Institute (Los Angeles). So far he cooperated alongside the likes of Shawn Lane, Frank Gilbert, Carl Verheyen, in addition to also alongside his teachers - Scott Henderson in addition to Brett Garsed. He is strongly associated alongside a Finnish guitarist Antii Kotikoski every bit well. You tin come upward across Richie's call inwards the booklets of Maximum Brain Disfunction's, The Flowriders', Isotope's in addition to René Engel's releases. Moreover, he is a journalist of a Duch mag - "Music Maker".
Richard invited to recording around famous stars similar an Australian Brett Garsed in addition to Shawn Lane. Brett played inwards AOR band called Nelson, but is most famous for his cooperation alongside T.J. Helmerich in addition to their 2 CDs - "Quid Pro Quo" (1992) in addition to "Exempt" (1994). However, Shawn Lane recorded a few solos on Mark Varney Project's "Centrifugal Funk" (1991). Obviously, y'all tin every bit good postulate heed Brett's parts on that compilation. Unfortunately, Shawn died inwards 2003 at the historic menses of forty. It was later recording his solos for RHP a footling while.
I'd telephone think RHP a jazzy project, non solely because of Hallebeek's in addition to Lane's jazz education, but also cheers to musical rhythm section's parts made upward of Udo Pannekeet (bass) in addition to Sebastiaan Cornelissen (drums). We tin uncovering around instrumental similarities to Lale Larson's Ominox, but his presence in addition to ideas inwards RHP couldn't choose vanished without trace. I think that musicians sometimes brand references to symphonic stone from the seventies ("Good Food"). RHP is a proficient proposal for devotees of Pat Metheny's in addition to De Gladas Kapell's music. If y'all were looking for relaxing music that is best for losing inwards meditation in addition to supporting inwards deceleration of daily life's mad pace, y'all are spot-on!
The production is crystal clear in addition to avoids sounding sterile every bit likewise many releases inwards this genre do. The add-on of Shawn Lane (what was his terminal musical adventure) in addition to Brett Garsed are certain to convey inwards a few fans that otherwise may non become to know of RHP, in addition to they likewise volition move satisfied alongside their artists contributions. There is a definite alive vibe throughout all the same each runway posesses construction in addition to avoid aimless meandering.
Highlights on jazz fusion albums are oft difficult to alternative every bit its to a greater extent than oft than non to a greater extent than "a amount of the parts", every bit opposed to "single entities". Yet Canoga Park stands out cheers to its mesmerising atmospheric depth in addition to around sublime solos from Richard Hallebeek in addition to Shawn Lane. Good Food has a prissy virtually 70's pomp prog vibe to it that in 1 lawsuit again makes it worthy of its ain mention.
Overall RHP is a real enterprise piece of jazz stone in addition to I become the feeling this band volition move killer inwards the alive setting. Fans of jazz rock/fusion brand certain y'all depository fiscal establishment jibe this out!
