 | | Morris challenges himself and he challenges his listeners, as is evident in the sheer weight of the new record. | | | Morris' understanding of his own language is notable in itself; it is remarkable how he can first take a carbon copy of classical melody, shred it, and then refuse the fragments into his own cleverly patterned, sonic mosaic. | | | Morris mocks the smooth tonality that often comes so easily with electric guitar; his fingering is solid and precise on the more difficult acoustic strings. |

| | Joe Pass -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | As early as 14, Joe started getting gigs and soon was playing with bands fronted by greats such as Tony Pastor and (Click link for more info and facts about Charlie Barnet) Charlie Barnet, honing his guitar skills and learning the music business. | | | His solo style is marked by a sophisticated harmonic sense, counterpoint between improvised lead lines, bass figures and chords, spontaneous modulations, transitions from fast tempos to rubato passages, and a total command of the instrument. | | | In the early 1970's, Pass also collaborated a series of music books, and his "JOE PASS GUITAR STYLE" (written with Bill Thrasher) is considered a leading improvisation textbook for students of jazz. |

| | Between 1983 and 1992, with a series of five self-produced albums, Joe Morris established himself as one of the most important new-jazz guitarists in the US. | | | On Elsewhere, Morris is in the company of equals: pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker, and drummer Whit Dickey, who at the time were a working trio and members of the David S. Ware Quartet. | | | Their familiarity with one another results in a volatile music that remains in an energized state of fluid motion only the best improvisers can sustain. |

| | Guardian Joe Morris, Singularity |
| | Morris is fast, dense and melodically complex - he sounds as if he is scattering warped phrases from old straight jazz-guitar discs around the clangs and percussive impacts of an abstract soundscape. | | | But there is a flow of swirling motion and activity, with Morris completely unaccompanied on 10 tracks here, playing an acoustic steel-stringed instrument rather than his usual Les Paul. | | | As with British guitar innovator Derek Bailey's music, there are no sustained tempos or tunes here in the usual sense - though Morris has always been closer to orthodox melody and beginnings and ends than Bailey. |

| | Born in New Haven, Connecticut on September 13, 1955, Joe Morris was the very first guitarist to release an album as a leader on Soul Note in that label's long and illustrious history. | | | In the mid-'80s Morris started his own label, riti records (named after a one-stringed African instrument), and issued the first documents of his unique musical conception. | | | Besides performing and recording, Morris has lectured on "Transfer of Traditional West African String Music to American Blues Guitar," "Composing for Improvisers," and other topics at Harvard University, New England Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, and elsewhere, including North Down Institute in Bangor, North Ireland. |

| | Morris uses such techniques pretty much all the way through "Renascent," an improvised duet with Maneri: sproingy hammer-on clusters give way to blurry, slip-sliding balalaika runs; then there are moments when you might find yourself unable to distinguish between guitar and violin. | | | Mat Maneri is also a member of the Joe Morris Quartet, whose second album, A Cloud of Black Birds, was recently issued by AUM Fidelity. | | | But mostly Morris' guitar sounds like a guitar. |

| | Guitarist Jeff Parker teams with an electric-guitar-equipped Fields for a series of duets on Song Songs Song (Delmark), and, not surprisingly, the results are just as free as Christangelfox — and just as boring. | | | Song Songs Song is far from a straightahead bop album; the performances are as abstract and cerebral as they are spacy and eerie. | | | Guitarists Jeff Parker and Scott Fields’ Song Songs Song (Delmark) is about as experimental as it gets on a domestic label. |

| | Intervals are wider on the title track, with the melody slower and bluesier. | | | In contrast to his distinctive guitar playing, Morris is a rock steady, but rather conventional, accompanying bassist who seems to be holding back throughout. | | | Here, as elsewhere on the disc he appears to be dipping more into the darker bass regions during his solo, perhaps because he’s following a parallel career as an acoustic bassist in a standard piano trio configuration. |

| | Eye - COVER: Strange Attractors / Joe Morris Trio - 06.27.96 |
| | Using a clean-shaven, even-tempered, conventionally jazzy tone, Morris ventures into a musical terrain that precious few guitarists have seen fit to explore, partly because it's tough to carry off on the instrument: adapting the freebop abstractions and wild interval swings previously explored by the likes of the late saxophonists Eric Dolphy and Jimmy Lyons. | | | They take their name from a book about chaos, but -- judging from the cassette of this Toronto band currently in circulation -- Strange Attractors don't sound chaotic so much as all over the place: by turns jazzy, ambient (occasionally so ambient that they're all but inaudible), punky, funky, what have you. | | | It was Hall's idea to form a quartet with drummer/keyboardist Gary Taylor, bassist Tom Griffiths and guitarist Kevin Breit (who, incidentally, stole the show last month when he played as a member of singer Cassandra Wilson's latest band). |

| | Gus Cannon-like chromatic blues banjo comes to the fore on “Dream”, as Drake and Parker are able to use their acoustic instruments to lock into a repetitive groove as if they were the electric bassist and drummer in a crack rhythm team from the golden age of Motown. | | | And Joe Morris puts aside his guitar to play banjo and ukulele hybrid, the banjouke. | | | Definitely not so-called folk or period music, when the electronics and drums are taken into account, some of the lutenist’s pieces resemble extensions of guitarist Sandy Bull’s discs of the early 1960s, where that American guitarist mixed roots themes, middle eastern influences and Billy Higgins’ jazz drumming. |

| | CD Reviews 2003 |
| | This recording reminds us how perfectly the basic elements of jazz are married in the classic trio, the piano carrying the melody and suggesting harmonic variations, the bass providing the foundation and a tonal contrast, and the drums keeping the pace steady and hinting at all the potential rhythmic dynamics in the music. | | | Wae is the brainchild of two KC jazz veterans, bassist Gerald Spaits and drummer Todd Strait, and their composing, arranging and playing is notable on this recording. | | | However, it is the younger firebrands here keyboardist Roger Wilder and especially saxophonist Josh Sclar and guitarist Jake Blanton who consistently infuse the music with energy and imagination. |
