| Walter Trout's ’Full Circle’ Guitarist and singer Walter Trout released on June 20, 2006 his first new studio work in five years, ’Full Circle’ . The landmark effort is the realization of Walter's long held dream to invite musician-friends from his 35+ year career to compose and play together with him. Featured artists include John Mayall, Coco Montoya, Bernard Allison, Jeff Healey, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Sardinas, Guitar Shorty, Junior Watson and James Harman and others. ’Full Circle’ is a celebration of the diverse styles within the blues genre, an inspired journey of musical magic by master musicians creating "on the spot" compositions in the studio. No studio gimmickry, just "one-take" performances that demonstrate Walter Trout's appreciation and utter mastery of all shades of the blues. With ’Full Circle’ Walter wanted to find the "sweet spot" of musician interplay by jamming and playing with friends as the ultimate in fun and freedom of expression. He also wanted to acknowledge each player's unique sound, and then add the Walter Trout touch to their approach. The players were NOT invited to "pay homage" to the "Style of Walter Trout". Quite on the contrary! So consequently what you hear is the diversity of blues; and the flexibility of Walter Trout....having a really great time making music with his friends -- friends who are some of the best in the business. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
