Garrison Fewell/Eric Hofbauer Duo
Boston-based guitarists Garrison Fewell and Eric Hofbauer perform an eclectic series of duets inspired by the deeper roots of jazz in the music of West Africa, Persia and the Arabic-Islamic world. The music of this intergenerational duo, which met for nearly a year and a half to discuss the music before playing a single note together, juxtaposes ancient traditions with the language and techniques of contemporary improvisation.
"It seemed to both Garrison and Eric that the music of several cultures, reshaped over several tempestuous centuries, pulses through jazz of the 21st century," writes journalist Ed Hazell in the liner notes to the duo's debut, The Lady of Khartoum (CNM 010). "Following the logic of improvisation's eternal present, [they] have synthesized the music of centuries into something organic to the moment...an album of music that stepped out of a deeper understanding of history into a deeper knowledge of our common humanity."

Garrison Fewell/ Eric Hofbauer: The Lady of Khartoum
by John Sharpe
I wouldn't normally go for an album of guitar improvisation, but from the first notes the abstracted beauty of this duet session from Boston-area guitarists Garrison Fewell and Eric Hofbauer both dazzles and beguiles, sufficient to eliminate any prejudice. Hofbauer is part of the Blueprint Project, whose 2007 recording People I Like made several ...
Garrison Fewell / Eric Hofbauer: The Lady Of Khartoum
by Nic Jones
Here's music from two guitars that covers far more ground than that description may imply. Fewell and Hofbauer are both players acutely aware of the sonic potential their instrument has to offer, and that awareness is one of the many qualities that combine lift the music on The Lady Of Khartoum well above the run-of-the-mill.
