Reviewed: 2019-11-03 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Guitarist Okazaki is one of the most inventive musicians on the scene today, and much in demand. On this, his sixth album, He shows of his prowess within a different approach to jazz: all solos are contained within the tracks without one musician or another taking the lead. Each track is complex in composition, inviting the listener to settle in and really listen. If You Like: John McLaughlin, John Abercrombie, Terje Rypdal Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Rise and Shine (4:25) – bass/guitar starts> fast tempo jam> pause> fast jam builds in intensity, volume & complexity> quick stop **2/ Dog Star (6:26) – bass starts> uptempo jam> quick stop *3/ Anthemoessa (4:15) – strummed guitar starts> midtempo jam> quick fade 4/ Seven Sisters (4:58) – guitar starts> midtempo jam> quick fade 5/ Monstopolous (2:44) – bass/drums start> lightning fast jam> quick stop 6/ The Castaway (5:31) – guitar starts> midtempo jam> slow fade **7/ The Lighthouse (6:39) – drums start> uptempo jam> fade> quick flourish on guitar *8/ To Dream Again (5:37) – full band starts> uptempo jam shifts to midtempo> slow fade | ||
