Pearly Clouds

描述

This is the first recording by a new trio, which the band themselves describe as avant-folk and ethno jazz/blues sound which alloys the spiritual and musical experience of the American-Hungarian-and Southern heritage and future. Guitarist Gary Lucas is one of the most lauded performers among critics, variously described as The thinking man's guitar hero by The New Yorker, One of the best and most original guitarists in America...a modern guitar miracle by David Fricke in Rolling Stone, and the greatest living electric guitarist by author and producer Dan Levitin. An associate of the likes of Jeff Buckley, Nick Cave and Peter Hammill, he was a member of the last incarnation of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band in the early '80s and has become a respected figure in avant-garde, psychedelic and world music, composing widely for film and TV. He formed this trio with Hungarian singer Eniko Szabo, whose style combines traditional folk music with jazz, and saxophonist Toni Dezso, a leading figure on the European avant garde jazz scene, recording an album which takes its inspiration from folk melodies and lyrics, projecting them into adventurous and captivating settings.
