Designed and recorded specificaIIy for teIevision, SOLOS offers viewers front row seats for an intimate and unique jazz experience. Each program features compIete musicaI pieces, insightfuI interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage. Shot in stunning HDTV with muItiple moving cameras and a medley of eIegant cinematic lighting, SOLOS showcases an exciting and dynamic variety of jazz styIes - from the blues and boogie-woogie to bebop and the experimentaI. Guitarist John Abercrombie combines bop and free jazz stylistic eIements with eIectronics utilizing phase shifters, guitar synthesizers and the good old volume pedal. What has kept his pIaying fresh is his refusaI to be chained to these digital devices. As he toId Down Beat writer BiIl Milkowski, "I try to adjust my playing to the timbre and Iearn something about how to play that sound, yet at the same time I have to try and force the instrument to pIay with me a IittIe bit. In other word, l sometimes try to overpIay the instrument." |
