Jack West and Curvature

"Original, consistently recognizable sound...tight arrangements, musical use of odd-time signatures and polyrhythms, and engaging, intricate melodies..." - Electronic Musician

Continuum Cover
This is the first recording by Jack with his ensemble, Curvature. It features Jack West on acoustic guitar, Calder Spanier (of the Charlie Hunter Quartet) on sax, and Scott Proffitt on percussion. The recording also includes a special guest appearance by madolin virtuoso Mike Marshall. It was recorded at Ahead Behind Music Studio as described in the December 1997 Electronic Musician feature article. All 11 tunes on the CD are original compositions by Jack West and it is distinguished by its "all-acoustic instrumentation...tight arrangements, musical use of odd-time signatures and polyrhythms, and engaging, intricate melodies that weave through a landscape of hypnotic yet subtly fluctuating grooves." (Electronic Musician, 12/97)
