Raw Power: Surfacings, Vol. 1

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Trey Gunn's third solo release is equal parts free jazz, art rock, and New Age, a riveting compendium of outtakes spanning a decade in the life of an active and versatile musician. Gunn, one-sixth of the rock ensemble King Crimson, inhabits a peculiar region between the electric guitar and the electric bass, tapping rich musical reserves in styles and octaves most people never think about. Using the Chapman Stick and Warr Guitar--instruments played with two hands on the fretboard, piano-style--Gunn burbles and weaves through a haunting web of moods and textures, putting rhythm first but forsaking neither melody nor harmonic complexity. Raw Power: Surfacings 1 showcases the talents of trumpeter Dave Douglas and percussionist Bob Muller, ebbing gracefully into broad, atmospheric material. With dramatic finesse, Gunn mattes fluid bass lines and percussive melodies against tonal washes and arcing leads that beg favorable comparison with those of Crimson band mate Robert Fripp. Some pieces here may be little more than fragments, but this is inspired stuff, any way you cut it. --Michael Mikesell
