Elliott Sharp - Reinhold Friedl: Feuchtify
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chi ha ancora nelle orecchie The Velocity of Hue, il bellissimo lavoro in solo per chitarra acustica di Elliott Sharp, è bene che non si lasci scappare Feuchtify.

Elliott Sharp: Secret Life
by C. Michael Bailey
Multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp expresses music through his own personal filter. He does this in the postmodern spirit: instead of assembling a collection of musical ideals, he adopts musical ideas rooted in the reaction to the restrictions and limitations of those musical ideals. In some highbrow sense that may describe what Ornette Coleman and late John Coltrane ...

And while it's often ...
Elliott Sharp: Sharp? Monk? Sharp! Monk!
by Elliott Simon
A guitarist with a mastery of his instrument's fretboard, Elliott Sharp goes beyond pedestrian picking and strumming for a percussive and pianistic effect that has to be seen to be believed. In fact, Sharp's approach to his instrument is in many ways more reminiscent of a pianist than a guitarist. It is no surprise, then, that ...
Elliott Sharp: Sharp? Monk? Sharp! Monk!
by Mark Corroto
Elliott Sharp might have once been described as a skinny kid from Cleveland, Ohio who has come to steal your women and drink your beer. But that, my friends, was a long time ago. A graduate of the New York Downtown scene of the 1980s and 1990s, Sharp has branched out into string quartets, hard-core blues, ...
