| David Fiuczynski at the Regatta Bar, Cambridge, MA David Fiuczynski's KiF will play on Tuesday, October 16 at the Regatta Bar, Cambridge, MA. ”David Fiuczynski's KiF”: As if it wasn't enough that the man known as ”Fuze” plays a double-neck guitar with one “normal” neck and one without frets - now he also employs a quarter-tone axe (dividing each note into four “microtones”) expanding on his fresh palette of other-worldly sounds. With KiF, Chinese melodies, Arabic calls to prayer, Indian invocations and legato ripping coexist seamlessly and trippingly with Fuze's signature brand of funky jams ranging from rocked-out madness through drum'n'bass and GoGo styles, into plaintive meditations and moving, emotional ballads. Fuze is renowned for his work as a former member of Me'Shell NdegOcello's band and as leader of his Screaming Headless Torsos, who released their seminal and influential rap-rock debut in 1995. He recently came off the road with Japanese piano-goddess Hiromi and was Stewart Copeland's touring guitarist prior to this year's Police reunion. Kif features Skoota Warner(DJ Logic, Matisyahu) on drums and Steve Jenkins (Vernon Reid) on Bass. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
