No, really. Told me she's here for some gigs in the summer, wants me* to go. Anyway...



* Well, me and very possibly everyone else on her mailing list, I suppose.

Tibbetts' 1983 effort for ECM straddles-and ultimately transcends-the fine lines of improv, jazz, and dub. In fact, Tibbetts' music has generally fallen beneath the cracks. Affixing a genre label to his often-exquisite constructs is inevitably a fool's gesture.

Beginning with the galvanic "Test," Tibbetts lays down the basic components that follow. Undulating, watery beds of tablas, hand-struck percussion, and sub-continental Indian guitar wraiths peak from within a common matrix, only to collapse under their own critical mass into a seething sonic stew. His longtime musical foil Marc Anderson often provides caressing counterpoint, as on the mutually penned compositions "Night Again" and "Climbing," both of which set delicate, interwoven tabla lines amongst woodblock percussive loops and nocturnal shades of guitar. Atmospheric and audacious stuff.

Recorded in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1983.

Personnel: Steve Tibbetts (guitar, kalimba, tapes); Bob Hughes (bass); Marc Anderson (congas, steel drums, percussion); Tim Wienhold (vase); Steve Cochrane (tabla).

On the Original Black!
Too much prog on here apparently!

Featuring the wonderful Sonny Landreth.

A superb album and a very talented singer. It is such a shame that (in the uk) this album became synonymous with bourgeoisie dinner parties which were a thinly disguised excuse for preening displays of one-upmanship and social pretention.

An even bigger shame that nobody ever invited me - I love decadence.

Agree, her 'Quality of Mercy" is one of my favourite tracks on this album.
