Advanced jazz stone fusion past times Dutch guitar monster, Richard Hallebeek, amongst Lale Larson (keys) together with Bas Conelissen (drums), together with featuring Shawn Lane (guitar) & Brett Garsed (guitar).
This projection brings together a grouping of exciting jazz stone musicians playing genuine compositions amongst intense improvisations. No endless, un-coordinated numbers. No boring, "heard-it-all-before" songwriting. Just the really best inwards high energy, progressive together with moreover, complex music.
Richard Hallebeek is likely best known for his 1995 album, Generator, released on Mark Varney's Legato label. Jamming along at the tender historic menstruation of 23 amongst guitar legends Carl Verheyen, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, Scott Kinsey together with Dan Gilbert he wrote the bulk of the album's tunes, proving he was a phonation to hold upward reckoned with. Richard has studied jazz together with improvisation at the Amsterdam Conservatory; he also studied for a yr at the GIT inwards L.A. amongst Brett Garsed.
Lale Larson (keys) has worked closely amongst highly respected guitarist, Todd Duane (with whom he appeared on Mark Varney's compilation CD Guitar on the Edge every bit the exclusively keyboard soloist). Between 1996-99 Lale composed together with recorded The Seven Deadly Sins, a highly master copy concert inwards 7 movements which contains everything from acoustic pianoforte together with jazz to thrash metal. Around the same fourth dimension he also wrote several pianoforte pieces, ii of which were performed past times pianist Joakim Olsson on 17/5/96 at the Royal Conservatory inwards Copenhagen.
Sebastiaan Cornelissen started playing drums when he was merely v years old. At the historic menstruation of 17, he began his studies at The Conservatory of Amsterdam. During that fourth dimension he formed jazz/fusion group, Isotope, along amongst instructor together with well-known Dutch pianoforte virtuoso, Rob van Bavel. They select since released 2 albums: Isotope together with Perception of the Beholder (Munich records). Besides Isotope, Sebastiaan also performs amongst his quartet featuring Leonardo Amuedo, together with a really exciting projection amongst highly respected guitarist Eef Albers.
And if the inwards a higher house players aren't exciting enough, read on. The CD includes none other than legendary guitar virtuosos Shawn Lane together with Brett Garsed.
H5N1 Dutch Richard Hallebeek is fairly known inwards so-called guitar society. He graduated from Hilversum Conservatory together with Musician's Institute (Los Angeles). So far he cooperated amongst the likes of Shawn Lane, Frank Gilbert, Carl Verheyen, together with also amongst his teachers - Scott Henderson together with Brett Garsed. He is strongly associated amongst a Finnish guitarist Antii Kotikoski every bit well. You tin mail away come upward across Richie's call inwards the booklets of Maximum Brain Disfunction's, The Flowriders', Isotope's together with René Engel's releases. Moreover, he is a journalist of a Duch mag - "Music Maker".
Richard invited to recording or therefore famous stars similar an Australian Brett Garsed together with Shawn Lane. Brett played inwards AOR band called Nelson, but is most famous for his cooperation amongst T.J. Helmerich together with their ii CDs - "Quid Pro Quo" (1992) together with "Exempt" (1994). However, Shawn Lane recorded a few solos on Mark Varney Project's "Centrifugal Funk" (1991). Obviously, you lot tin mail away every bit good listen Brett's parts on that compilation. Unfortunately, Shawn died inwards 2003 at the historic menstruation of forty. It was later on recording his solos for RHP a lilliputian while.
I'd telephone telephone RHP a jazzy project, non exclusively because of Hallebeek's together with Lane's jazz education, but also thank you lot to beat section's parts made upward of Udo Pannekeet (bass) together with Sebastiaan Cornelissen (drums). We tin mail away notice or therefore instrumental similarities to Lale Larson's Ominox, but his presence together with ideas inwards RHP couldn't select vanished without trace. I recall that musicians sometimes brand references to symphonic stone from the seventies ("Good Food"). RHP is a skillful proposal for devotees of Pat Metheny's together with De Gladas Kapell's music. If you lot were looking for relaxing music that is best for losing inwards meditation together with supporting inwards deceleration of daily life's mad pace, you lot are spot-on!
The production is crystal clear together with avoids sounding sterile every bit also many releases inwards this genre do. The add-on of Shawn Lane (what was his terminal musical adventure) together with Brett Garsed are certain to convey inwards a few fans that otherwise may non move to know of RHP, together with they also volition hold upward satisfied amongst their artists contributions. There is a definite alive vibe throughout all the same each rails posesses construction together with avoid aimless meandering.
Highlights on jazz fusion albums are oft difficult to selection every bit its mostly to a greater extent than "a total of the parts", every bit opposed to "single entities". Yet Canoga Park stands out thank you lot to its mesmerising atmospheric depth together with or therefore sublime solos from Richard Hallebeek together with Shawn Lane. Good Food has a overnice nigh 70's pomp prog vibe to it that i time again makes it worthy of its ain mention.
Overall RHP is a really enterprise piece of jazz stone together with I move the feeling this band volition hold upward killer inwards the alive setting. Fans of jazz rock/fusion brand certain you lot banking concern gibe this out!
