JOE MORRIS
Legendary avant guitarist Joe Morris performs a set of free flowing improvisations. Intensely
personal in his music Morris refuses to follow trends and fashions, instead forging
his own path while informed by the groundbreaking work of Ornette Coleman and
Cecil Taylor.
"One of the most profound improvisors at work in the U.S." -- Will Montgomery, The Wire
"If Ornette Coleman were Jim Hall, he would be Joe Morris." -- Gary Giddins, The Village Voice
"...the guitar revolutionary to pay attention to." -- Norman Winstein, The Boston Phoenix
"...the most exciting and original jazz plucker to emerge in the last
decade." -- John Corbett,
Downbeat
"...a guitarist whose sound is completely his own, oscillating between
deadpan sweetness and dangerous, shrapnel-like caprice." -- K. Leander Williams, The Village Voice
"...the future of the instrument." -- Ben Watson, Hi Fi News
"...he sounds like no one else." -- Art Lange, The Wire
