Progressing amongst guitarist Carlos Santana from his early on Afro-Cuban stone as well as pop-based successes to his experimentation amongst jazz fusion, drummer Michael Shrieve afterward released a string of fine solo recordings of his own. This i features guitar hero Bill Frisell as well as the ever-inventive organist Wayne Horvitz for a rather divergent gear upward featuring ethereal soundscapes, loose grooves, as well as crunching opuses. Here, Shrieve provides sturdy backbeats to coincide amongst about nicely placed fills as well as his needlelike implementations of the dynamic. This endeavor highlights Frisell's wily as well as rather slithery guitar work, enhanced yesteryear the glowing sonic characteristics of the production, when viewed upon every bit a whole. The band is apt to soar skyward via climactic overtures inwards concert amongst a crash-and-burn methodology. Needless to say, this thing represents a strong concoction of jazz fusion melded amongst folksy themes as well as an avant-garde-type swing vamp, evidenced on "The Glass Tent." Yet, after a string of enterprising solo outings, Shrieve's solo career quieted downwardly to a almost whisper during the belatedly '90s as well as into the novel millennium.
You never know what y'all are going to larn amongst this type of CD (great musician's solo effort) then this was a real pleasant surprise. I had a feeling going inwards that it was going to hold upward new-agey but it's a venture instrumental stone album amongst about bully guitar playing from Bill Frisell as well as Wayne Horvitz on organ. Every vocal was strong as well as no 2 resemble each other, a hard chore on an instrumental album but this guy tin write music. There is likewise a Chris Whitley composition. If I had to compare it, I justice I would state it's much closer to Jeff Beck/John McLaughlin than Steve Vai/Joe Satriani.
