Shepik, Brad - Human Activity Suite (hybrid CD/SACD)
SKU
32-SGL1576
Playable on any player, but will give really amazing sound when played on a SACD player.
This is a fine, 'concept' work based around the issue of climate change (Bill O'Reilly and Rush, this work wasn't composed with you in mind, so just move along....). A great work and a umbelievably great band:
Brad Shepik: guitars, tambura, electric saz
Ralph Alessi: trumpet
Gary Versace: piano, organ, accordion
Drew Gress: bass
Tom Rainey: drums
"Guitarist Brad Shepik’s ambitious instrumental suite on the theme of climate change, interpreted by his great NY quintet, brings musical ideas from every continent into a creative jazz context."
"You really notice his compositional style and ability to lead [his musicians] so confidently into the uncharted wilds of his compositions … Their next album can’t come out fast enough.” — All Music Guide
