Big Ideas : Jack West & Curvature
© Ahead Behind Music 2001
Big Ideas is the fourth release from 8-string guitar virtuoso Jack West and his ensemble, Curvature.
Produced by Lee Townsend, who specializes in recordings of an interdisciplinary, cross-genre nature by contemporary composers and improvisers (Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Charlie Hunter), this recording is a perfect fit for both musician and producer. First class players include drummer Scott Amendola, marimba player Joel Davel, and cellist Mark Summer.
