Rob Wasserman: Rob Wasserman (bass instrument); Craig Erickson, T Lavitz, Jeff Sipe.
Personnel: Craig Erickson (guitar); T Lavitz (keyboards); Jeff Sipe (drums).
Liner Note Author: Craig Erickson.
Recording information: Prairie Sun Studios-Cotati, CA; Route 44-rohnnert Park, CA.
Photographer: Steve Jennings.
This ad hoc instrumental quartet is a supergroup of sorts. Comprised of immensely talented jazz and jazz fusion veterans (bassist Rob Wasserman, drummer Jeff Sipe, and T Lavitz on keyboards) it is spearheaded by guitarist Craig Erickson. He writes all the material, takes the most solos, acts as producer, and put the project together. Although released in 2005, it's a knowing throwback to the jazz-rock fusion of '70s acts such as Jeff Beck, John Scofield, Return to Forever, Allan Holdsworth, Dixie Dregs (of which Lavitz was a member), and any number of similar acts that generally favored instrumental dexterity over the compositional and melodic. It's a solid, incredibly well played album that suffers mostly from a lack of identity; basically, this could be music from any of the above artists or dozens of others. That's not a terrible thing, and surely any fan of the genre would be thrilled with adding this tasty, always professional outing to their collection. These guys have amazing chops, yet the songs lack a strong melodic presence. It's more than just a bunch of jamming, but not much, and there remains a sense that the foursome is simply working a groove without creating something unique. Guest Paul Hanson on bassoon twists the formula slightly on a few selections but his contributions are too subtle to make an impact. The driving funk of "Forecast" gives bassist Wasserman a chance to showboat -- one of the few -- on a song with a bit of a recurring motif. Erickson shreds with the best of them yet there is little distinguishable about his guitar playing and he takes the spotlight too often, leaving the others as talented backup to his fret dancing. There is something rather charming in the retro-ness of the concept since there aren't many jazz fusion albums being released in the mid-'00s. Still, with musicians of this world-class caliber, the final product is run of the mill for the genre. ~ Hal Horowitz

Cosmic Farm Music Review


Customer Cosmic Farm Reviews 




Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

3 stars A Fine First Outing
Not hugely original, but still some impressive instrumental work from this quartet. I'd like to hear a follow-up release which would allow for a little more rehearsal time, a little less jamming, and an occasional foray into odd time signature territory. This foursome certainly seems capable of more ambitious compositions.
