Greg Howe - Hyperacuity 2000


 













Greg Howe - Hyperacuity

I am a Greg Howe fan since 1992, and have always been impressed by his refusal to stick in the "shredder" rut. Although he is one of the most technically gifted rock guitarists, he is never without complex and interesting musical ideas. Ascend - his last album, was almost a step backwards,with neo-classical themes, but Hyperacuity takes Greg in a new, much jazzier direction. Although he will never be a "soft jazz"player, the influence of Larry Carlton is clear in some of these tunes, and Allan Holdsworth in others, with complex chord vamps and solos that leap around the neck. The closer you listen, the better it is. With a pair of headphones, you can hear the funk that is still underneath it all, and appreciate the intricate lines. Kevin Soffera is an amazing drummer, and the acoustic duet between Howe and his student Prashant Aswani is really amazing. Howe's closing rendition of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" is phenomenal, and gives the tune a whole new life. All in all a great turnout from Greg. I like all of his solo stuffs, but I think this one is the best.
