thanks to my friends ![]() ![]() Для большинства имена эти будут новыми и малоизвестными... но не всё ж вам тут кормиться smooth jazz-om с ретроградских рук! ![]() ![]() ![]() * Instrumental Rock * Experimental Rock * Improvisation * Fusion * Free Improvisation Project Z is Jimmy Herring, Ricky Keller and Jeff Sipe, a musical force manifested from years of mutual admiration, love of music and the power of Z. Project Z is a mysterious, sonic field with no set boundaries or rules. Rawness, elegance, inside jokes, suffering and intensity create a powerful soundscape for their eponymous debut for Terminus Records. This is the dream of three masters who take the listener on a divine, instrumental journey through time. The open-ended opportunity for musical free-reign was a welcome endeavor for two former members of the Aquarium Rescue Unit (ARU,) drummer Jeff Sipe (aka Apt. Q258) and guitarist Jimmy Herring, who teamed up with famed producer/bassist Ricky Keller and monster organ/keyboardist Oliver Wells for Project Z�s self-titled debut... ![]() ![]() Music to my ears, May 28, 2001 Reviewer: Matthew Bush (Seattle, WA United States) Jimmy Herring is simply one of the best guitarists playing today. His fiery style has graced the work of ARU, Frogwings, the Allman Brothers (where he more than ably replaced Dicky Betts on tour last year) and others. Here, on his first solo outing, he surrounds himself with other top players to deliver a high energy instrumental potpourri. Although equally adept at rock and blues playing, he leans here more towards the jazzier side of rock. On the opening cut "Raging Torrent" drummer Jeff Sipe sets the tone with an uptempo beat leading to some furious soloing by Herring. One of my favorite cuts "Rainbow" also features some beautiful piano work and cool time changes. The whole CD seems to move effortlessly though various musical directions, never losing it's freshness or impact. One minor negative: I'm not sure what the point was in placing short (i.e 30 second) noisy interludes between most of the features tracks, as I found these somewhat annoying. If you could program these out, you'd be left with one of the finest instrumental recordings in recent memory. Jimmy Herring may not be a household name, but this CD is further evidence that he's one of the finest players on the scene today. ![]() Review by Ann Wickstrom Imagine what would result from a recording session in which top-drawer musicians who favor improvisation are given no boundaries, rules, restraints, pressures, or expectations when they head into the studio. Imagine how psyched Jimmy Herring, Jeff Sipe, and Ricky Keller were when that opportunity presented itself. The three are among the top players on the scene, and they -- and listeners -- have Atlanta-based Terminus Records owner Jeff Bransford to thank for giving them free reign to take the ball and run with it. Bransford is a longtime fan of Aquarium Rescue Unit (ARU), a band both Herring and Sipe are former members of. He was also no doubt witness to the Monday-night jam sessions in Atlanta in which Herring, Sipe, and Keller allowed no discussion of songs or style prior to plugging in, which is where Project Z was born. The recording debut from Project Z is all instrumental and all original. Terminus told the artists they could record anything they wanted to and it would be released, and although no particular audience was targeted, the album has some similarities to the trio's former bands (ARU, Jazz Is Dead, Phil Lesh & Friends, the Allman Brothers, and Leftover Salmon). It is experimental, progressive, funky, and a barrel of fun. The intrinsic communication between the three musicians is staggering (for example, on the opening track, "Raging Torrent," Sipe uses the bell of his cymbal to accent some of Herring's guitar licks the instant they begin to emerge). "Mud Bug" is a New Orleans blues groove that features "Derek Trucks" on some great slide guitar. Halfway through the tune, the band switches gears, heads into double-time, and then goes back to square one to bring it all back home again. Herring puts the pedal to the medal on "Augusta's Ankle" with a lively dose of smoothed-out funk, and lets loose with some monstrous rapid-fire licks on "Separated Gestures," while "Albright Special" is all about swingin' bebop. You'll also find some drifting acoustic sounds here, as well as three very short fragments of Herring's de-tuned guitar bickering with itself ("Guitargument I, II and III"). The godfather of jam bands himself, Col. Bruce Hampton, makes a few twisted and mysterious vocal contributions. Rev. Oliver Wells tears it up on keys, and Count M'Butu furiously raps the congas. Highly recommended. |
