David Laibman - Adventures in Ragtime Guitar - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 from the dynamic duo consisting of Jihae and Wallace Meek. Having met in Glasgow while Ms. Meek was the singer for the Royal We and Mr. Meek helmed the excellent Bricolage, they eventually relocated to Los Angeles to soak in the sunny vibes and Pop history. Surrounded by stacks of dusty 45s, crack musicians and dinette counters lined with hopefuls and has-beens, Neverever is their new band, a tough group with a flair for echoey three-minute symphonies, marrying classic pop melodies with Punk-informed crunch and Glam-infused '70s stomp. Angelic Swells, the group's debut album, is a remarkable effort that takes in '50s Rock 'n' Roll, '60s girl-group sounds, the '70s Glam heyday of Slade and Suzi Quatro and '80s Power Pop on it's way to creating a bang-up-to-date idea of what pop should sound like in 2010.

Though a legendary figure from his monumental contributions to the clarinet and soprano saxophone's role in jazz, it was the compositions of Sidney Bechet that inspired master saxophonist David Liebman and guitarist John Stowell to dig deep into his catalog to compile and explore this set of rarely heard gems. Each possessing singular voices themselves that have inspired generations of other performers, Liebman & Stowell have created a very personal and intimate duo project celebrating another giant's work, their conversations making for compelling listening. Inch... a conversation between masters of their craft... sensitive and sublime... a marvelous collection of melody, harmony and joie de vivre.Inch - Jazz Weekly Album Tracks 1. Petite Fleur (Duo) 2.
