Ches Smith: Clone Row

Faced with the enormous originality of the music composed by Ches Smith for the Clone Row project, Marc Ribot ventured to write that it is like "listening to a Jim Hall concert under the effect of many mushrooms" or, alternatively, "a post-punk, post-Dave Brubeck, post-trip-hop experience with classical form". If Ches Smith's talent is all too well known for his quality as a drummer (Darius Jones, John Zorn, Tim Berne and many others), Clone Row is a brilliant demonstration of his superb imagination as a composer, directed towards this formation that he shares with two guitars, a bass and electronics. Disconcerting music, in which each composition explores a new angle on how to approach the different styles of the guitars of Mary Halvorson and Liberty Ellman. An explosion of ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAF-Wezv8oc Clone Row by Ches Smith
