Product Description
SOLOS: the jazz sessions is a 39 part television music profile/performance series. Each episode features complete musical pieces, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage with some of today's most notable jazz artists. Shot in HDTV with multiple moving cameras and a medley of elegant, cinematic lighting designs, SOLOS: the jazz sessions showcases an exciting and dynamic variety of jazz styles from the blues and boogie-woogie to bebop and beyond. Guitarist John Abercrombie combines bop and free jazz stylistic elements with electronics utilizing phase shifters, guitar synthesizers and the good old volume pedal. What has kept his playing fresh is his refusal to be chained to these digital devices. As he told Down Beat writer Bill Milkowski, ''I try to adjust my playing to the timbre and learn something about how to play that sound, yet at the same time I have to try and force the instrument to play with me a little bit. In other words, I sometimes try to overplay the instrument.''

JAZZ GUITARIST JOHN ABERCROMBIE HAS PLAYED WITH SO MANY GREAT MUSICIANS OVER 40+ YEARS,BOTH AS BANDLEADER AND SIDEMAN,IT IS A SHAME THAT HE RARELY EVER PLAYS SOLO,AT LEAST NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.THIS IS THE FIRST SOLO WORK,AS FAR AS I AM AWARE,SINCE HIS EXCELLENT SOLO "E C M" RECORD "CHARACTERS"WHICH DATES FROM 1978.
THIS D V D ILLUSTRATES HIS AMAZING PLECTRUM-BASED PICKING SYLE IN BOTH REGULAR AND IMPROVISED JAZZ AND INCLUDES SOME COMMENT FROM THE MAN HIMSELF ON WHERE HIS APPROACH TO THE GUITAR COMES FROM.A FINE INTRODUCTION TO THIS WORLD CLASS GUITARIST AND HIS MUSIC ; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
