Mark O'Leary: Flux and Shamanic Voices

Read "Mark O'Leary: Flux and Shamanic Voices" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni

by Eyal Hareuveni

These two releases by the exceptional Irish guitarist Mark O'Leary feature him at his best. On two undated sessions, O'Leary paired himself with singular yet highly collaborative musicians. The meetings which followed recalibrated O'Leary's playing away from its usual avant-fusion inclination and towards a new form of freer expressive articulation. Mark O'Leary/Dylan Van Der ...

Mark O'Leary/Wayne Horvitz/Dylan Van Der Schyff: FLUX

Read "FLUX" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Irish guitar wiz Mark O'Leary's relentless pursuit of melding his improvisational expertise with some of the top guns in the jazz-based business continues here during this trio setting recorded in Seattle, Washington.
