Trevor Warren

Disassembler

33Jazz

Album description

Saxophonist Mark Lockheart and drummer Seb Rochford bring the creativity and energy levels you would expect to Warren's music, but the guitarist himself is by no means overshadowed.

His playing is heavily influenced by rock (the Grateful Dead and Carlos Santana came to mind at different points) and ethnic musics, and his compositions and rhythmic grooves which reveal similar influences provide good platforms for improvisation and group interaction, while at the same time avoiding the staple forms and routines of a mainstream jazz approach.

Loz Speyer adds atmospheric trumpet alongside Lockheart's horns on selected tracks, and Dudley Phillips does his usual impeccable job on bass.
