Lindsey Boullt: presto kashmir and
reprise
News:
08-03-2008:
The second CD release from Lindsey Boullt is out. Entitled
Composition it is described as a tour de force collision
course of hot chops, fusion, world and Arabic tinged rock.
The disc is a high profile who
s who with Jerry Goodman,
Derek Sherinian, Stu Hamm and Peter Van Gelder. I got a
copy of the CD and it is a very polished piece of music, a
kind of mix of Zeppelin, early Shawn Lane and Shakti and
highly recommend. Thanks to Pete Pachio for letting me
know about this release.
“Moving Panvishnu” and “Aurora s Aura” are obvious tributes
to the glory days of early 70
s jazz-rock with Goodman
stretching out across Boullt
s fluid but restrained playing
reminiscent of Allan Holdsworth
s most engaging leads.
Perhaps the most striking statement comes on “Call for
Peace” with Sukhawat Ali Khan singing an emotive traditional
lead vocal that recalls Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
s high
profile endeavours. Sherinian is showcased prominently on
the disc
s closing piece, which twists the Indian rock
experiment further with fiery outcomes. Bassist Stu Hamm
shows why he
s the master of the session strut on the aptly
titled “Groovin with Stu” and lastly the composer ain
t afraid
to get heavy either as heard on “Bravo Davo de la Torre”.
Background:
Lindsey Boullt started the guitar late, picking up the guitar at
21 years old. Lindsey received his music degree three and a
half years later and then graduated with honours from the
Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles at the age of
27.
He is an established guitarist, composer and instructor in San
Francisco and working with some of the finest players in the
world, Lindsey teaches at the renowned Guitar Institute.
The compositions for
Composition are a continuing
demonstration of Lindsey
s ability to musically communicate
how culture, chaos, and the reverence for odd time can be
organized into precision and power. As Derek Sherinian puts
it, “It
s very Zeppli-Vishnu.”
