j. guy laughlin “solo percussion vol. i”
one of the most talented percussionists active on the right half of the united states makes a fine debut for wagon. j guy may be better known as the time keeper and main rhythm source of projects like the up and coming puffy areolas, or cleveland's dead peasant insurance. he may also be found in duo formation w/the infamous mike forbes or w/the "electronic key-holder" bob drake.
recorded at the now defunct zombie proof studios last year, this marks one of the first widely released recordings featuring just mr laughlin with his drums and assorted percussion and in a very fine fidelity no less. the cuts contained on this release glow with a mastery of dynamics and rapidly shifting phrases, a true guru of free-improvisation as expression. j guy continually challenges himself and his unsuspecting audiences to create a realm where true to the moment expression exists, even if it means taking a live blitzkrieg from the man himself...you deserve it.
this cassette serves as an entrance to the infinite tunnel of new ideas for percussion on a professional level in an era where a sudden mass quantity of amateur hour jazz and jazz fusion tactics live as an extra value meal without criticism. this is as true as expression can be and a brave solo adventure. forthcoming releases on wagon are not so far off
limited to 150 on chrome tapes. |
