[Apologies for the promotional nature of this message.] Out Now: Greg Kelley: If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack. CD [Rossbin] $10 This follow-up to 2000s Trumpet [Meniscus] further explores the use of the recording tool as medium. Using intentional signal distortion and interruption, abrupt pause-button edits, and close-miking effects, Kelley has created a homegrown concrete meditation on the void. Brilliantly mastered by Jason Lescalleet. Praise for Trumpet [Meniscus, 2000]: This solo recording by trumpeter Greg Kelley is a bit like the black canvas with a white spot in the middle: One might question its value as art. -Steven Loewy [All Music Guide] ...at the very least represents a challenging test of any listener's patience. - Scott Hreha [one final note] Albums such as this which apparently consist of extended technique for its own sake ... are musically about as arid as reading a computer instruction manual. - Dan Warburton [Paris Transatlantic] ...its value strikes me more as being a demonstration... - Jerry Kranitz [Aural Innovations] ...this disc isn't for everyone. - Ken Waxman [Jazz Weekly.com] Other new releases featuring Greg Kelley: ANTHONY BRAXTON Six Compositions (GTM) 2001 4CD [Rastascan/Limited Sedition/Barely Auditable] $34 Anthony Braxton, Scott Rosenberg, Dan Plonsey, Jesse Gilbert, Justin Yang-reeds; Taylor Ho-Bynum, Greg Kelley-brass; John Shiurba-guitar; Matthew Sperry-contrabass Gino Robair-percussion Braxtons Ghost Trance Music as interpreted by a cross-continental tentet [including Kelley] (discs 1 & 2), quintet (disc 3), quartet, trio and duo (disc 4).
