Jack West and Curvature
"Remarkable, unusual, wondrous!" - Down Beat
"stunning...fuses bebop-inspired jazz, folk, and a jam band attitude
into an irresistibly cool, intriguingly textured style." - Acoustic
Guitar Magazine
Curvature's new release, Around About Now, is a dynamic collection of
smokin' tunes – definitely Curvature at their most gregarious. Produced
by Jack West with generous assistance from Lee Townsend, Curvature’s
fifth CD showcases seven of West’s new compositions presented by the
ensemble on unusual and wonderful instrumentation. Around About Now
integrates West's unique take on acoustic jazz and blues with elements
of country, electronic music, hip/hop and gospel brought in by the
ensemble. Featuring Jack West on 8-string acoustic guitar, Joel Davel on
electronic marimba, David Phillips on 14-string pedal steel, and drummer
Darian Gray. These world-class musicians have developed masterful
improvisational techniques and tight ensemble timing.
