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