Charlie Hunter — Baboon Strength
On a Charlie Hunter album, you always expect guitar virtuosity, but this album is different. Let me explain.
Charlie has a knack for always taking his music and becoming the front and center and everything in between. On Baboon Strength, Charlie takes a step back and allows his collaborators, Tony Mason (drums) and Erik Deutsch (organ), into the spotlight with him. From the first notes of the opening track you know that this is going to be a party album. Initially sounding like another Garage-A-Trois album, the music settles in as swirling and other worldly sounds dance out of the speakers, leaving you in a groovin’ daze.
The music is thick, dense and funky. Much care and effort was put into the recording of the album, with musical terrain that is covered, the color palette that is harmonically sketched and the supreme sound quality that oozes out of the hi-fi. Several of the cuts feature a somewhat cheesy Casio keyboard sound that is an acquired taste and something I’ve grown to kind of dig. Track 7, “Fine Corinthian Leather,” showcases sparse, yet snakey organ and guitar trade-off and certainly stands out amongst its peers on this collection. “Abadaba” has kind of a Buckethead Colma vibe, but is better. All nine of the tracks are excellent and as stated before, this is a party album. Highly recommended and definitely in our top ten of 2008.
Recommended tracks: “Athens”, “Astronaut Love Triangle”, “Fine Corinthian Leather” & “Abadaba”
Trey Anastasio & Don Hart Collaboration
From Jambands.com:
On September 27, Trey Anastasio will join Orchestra Nashville for the debut of his new composition, “Time Turns Elastic.” The performance, which will take place at the Ryman Auditorium on Saturday evening (an open dress will precede it during the afternoon), continues a collaborative relationship that began at the 2004 Bonnaroo Music Festival. There Anastasio conducted the Nashville Chamber Orchestra (since renamed Orchestra Nashville) for a few selections: “Prologue,” “Coming To” and “Guyute.” In the process of creating a proper score for “Guyute,” the Orchestra introduced Anastasio to composer and arranger Don Hart. Since that first meeting in 2004, Anastasio has enlisted Hart to provide string arrangements for a few songs on Bar 17 as well as a notable version of “Divided Sky” at New York City’s Webster Hall on October 8 and 9, 2006. “Time Turns Elastic” will bring things full circle, with Orchestra Nashville once again performing (joined by the guitarist along with conductor Paul Gambill), while Anastasio and Hart have stepped up their relationship, as Hart serves as co-composer.
In describing his work with Hart on “Time Turns Elastic,” Anastasio has stated, “I’ve never come close to the collaboration I’ve had with Don Hart. We had three-day sleepover sessions like little kids. A lot of work done on this piece consists of conceptual conversations. We talk about writing emotional content and beauty and excitement, so many of our conversations are focused around emotional descriptions, like a line of a song. The thing about it is, like I said, there are certain emotions that can only be called out of an orchestra. The coolest thing is that Don, from his angle, has no interest in changing me, or making me a classical guy. At my shows he would come and stand by the stage and said that he wants to embrace the piece in the way that I normally play, so it shouldn’t sound structurally very different.” Continue Reading…
