David Fiuczynski: Planet Microjam

by AAJ Italy Staff
July 10, 2012

David “Fuze" Fiuczynski è uno dei musicisti più prolifici che ci sono in circolazione: leader dei newyorkesi Screaming Headless Torsos e attivo in svariate collaborazioni in ambito jazz (tra le quali quella con Jack DeJohnette) e non solo, porta avanti da diversi anni progetti paralleli dagli approcci stilistici diversi. Planet Microjam è un esempio di come Fuze ami ibridare sapori contrastanti e mettere insieme mosaici fantasiosi, avvalendosi di musicisti preparati e pronti nell'affrontare un repertorio che non conosce confini espressivi. ...

David Fiuczynski: KiF Express

by AAJ Italy Staff
April 27, 2009

Allacciate le cinture di sicurezza, sta partendo il KiF Express e mastro Dave ‘Fuze’ Fiuczynski è ai comandi, in cabina. Pronto a lanciare questo treno a folle velocità nelle lande stralunate che nessuno sa come mappare sulle cartine geografiche della musica giovane e rigogliosa. Forse la vera ragione di questa difficoltà topografica sta proprio nella estrema dinamicità di una musica che non si fa mai acchiappare da chi pretende di etichettarla. E allora lasciamo che queste scorribande piene di forza ...

David Fiuczynski: KiF Express

by Phil DiPietro
November 21, 2008

David “Fuze" Fiuczynski continues to obliterate the boundaries of modern-day electric guitar styles, pushing himself further forward into the “world" sounds, techniques, scales, and rhythms that now constitute his calling-card. Funk can be 4/4 or 11/8, tone distorted or bone dry, chords root-fifth crunchers or undeniably undecipherable . He can make a fretted guitar sound fretless, but he's also the world's foremost fretless guitarist, rendering him one of the world's premier slide guitarists--but he plays “slide" with his fingertips. All ...

Dennis Chambers / Jeff Berlin / Dave Fiuczynski / T Lavitz: Boston T Party

by AAJ Italy Staff
September 12, 2006

Questo album è firmato collettivamente dai quattro musicisti impegnati nei dieci brani qui contenuti, anche se i veri leader sembrano essere il batterista Dennis Chambers, potente macchina del ritmo carica di ottani e il tastierista T Lavitz, già noto per la sua attività con i Dixie Dregs e con i Widespread Panic e produttore di questo Boston T Party. Siamo decisamente dalle parti della musica fusion eseguita da ottimi strumentisti che però non sanno resistere alla parte più truculenta della ...

Completing the Current Circuit with Fuze

by Phil DiPietro
March 10, 2004

Guitarist David “Fuze" Fiuczynski has remained somewhat of an incongruously well-kept secret despite his staggeringly complete resume, forward-thinking conceptual approach, and absolutely spine-chilling command of guitar technique. He's also been ahead of the curve on a few things; for one, the funk-metal crossover stylings that have dominated the popular music airwaves for quite some time now. His Screaming Headless Torsos were pumping fresh air into this genre back in 1995 with a major label studio release, and the previously import-only ...

David Fiuczynski & Rufus Cappadocia: Kif

by AAJ Staff
April 2, 2003

The country of Morocco is respected throughout Europe for, among other things, an estimated 30% of the continent's marijuana imports. The superior raw material called Kif is found there in the mountains of Rif. In Arabic, it's spelled كيف. Okay, got that? Enough said.

But don't go into Kif, the record, thinking it's some sort of stoner jam-band excursion. Quite the opposite: guitarist David Fiuczynski and cellist Rufus Cappadocia apply a razor edge to these pieces, asserting a ...

David Fiuczynski: Black Cherry Acid Lab

by AAJ Staff
January 2, 2003

Radio's the enemy!

When Black Cherry Acid Lab first came out as a rough CD-R a few years ago, it caused a bit of a stir among insiders. Guitarist David “Fuze" Fiuczynski had established his idiosyncratic (to say the least) style with the Screaming Headless Torsos, but here he was stretching his music to new extremes. Now that the record has been officially (re)issued on his Fuzelicious Morsels record label, it should shock and surprise a broader audience.
