Two new interviews with New York-based jazz and fusion guitarist Bruce Arnold have popped up on the radar. Both are great reads. See links below.
The Guitar Column: An Interview with Jazz Guitarist Bruce Arnold
Guitar International: Bruce Arnold Interview - The Art of Jazz Guitar
Here's some stuff I've been listening to lately...
Harold Davis Jr (aka Fro) is a great funk/fusion player out of New York, and his stuff is super-cool. Sort of a Hendrix-meets-Tribal Tech type of vibe. I'm also digging his Surprise Music EP.
Jason Sadites and Marco Minnemann - Behind The Laughter
This is Sadites' contribution to Minnemann's Normalizer 2 project, and it's one of my favorites. Great writing and playing with a heavy Zappa vibe.
Stu Hamm - Just Outside of Normal
The bass legend's latest includes guests Joe Satriani, Frank Gambale, and Robert Fripp. Cool stuff.
David Binney - Graylen Epicenter
Excellent jazz album from the New York-based sax player. Love Wayne Krantz's melodic lines on the title track.
Bruce Arnold - The Art of the Blues
Great, adventurous jazz blues record. Arnold's fusion disc Heavy Mental is also cool.
