Steve Tibbetts

Born:

It has been eight years since Steve Tibbetts gave us the fiery electric guitar album “A Man About A Horse” (ECM 1814). Now he returns with a different kind of recording: an album of, primarily, acoustic sounds. The making of “Natural Causes” took place in a period when Tibbetts was reconsidering some fundamental aspects of his art and craft – in parallel with daily studies of Bach, Bartók, and music theory. Examining those giants up close made it doubly difficult to go about business-as-usual in his own work. “After some hours, my ears would be wide open…and disinclined to the prospect of blasting electric guitar

Hellbound Train—An Anthology

Read "Hellbound Train—An Anthology" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


A career anthology of trumpeter Miles Davis' music would struggle for cohesion, trying to combine sounds from his Birth Of The Cool (Capitol, 1957) to the first and second great quintets, to Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970) and On the Corner (Columbia, 1972). It is a stew that is hard to digest in one sitting. It makes ...

Robert Diack: Small Bridges

Read "Small Bridges" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


It is heartening to hear a new artist coming on strong. Drummer Robert Diack's self-released debut, Lost Villages, placed the artist in the visionary column of jazz artists, as he spotlighted, with an original voice, the concept concerning a series of flooded townships in Southern Ontario, Canada, places put underwater in the 1950s for ...

Guitar Trios

Read "Guitar Trios" reviewed by Russell Perry

Steve Tibbetts: Life Of

Read "Life Of" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Pochi musicisti sono così sfuggenti a ogni tentativo di categorizzazione come il chitarrista americano Steve Tibbetts. La sua musica, da lui descritta come 'neo-primitivismo postmoderno' trae le sue origini inizialmente dal folk-rock sperimentale, spostandosi poi sempre più verso una dimensione world-ambient (nutrita dal profondo interesse dell'artista verso la musica nepalese e tibetana) realizzata attraverso una costante ...

Steve Tibbetts: Life Of

Read "Life Of" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Minnesota-based guitarist Steve Tibbetts has always gone his own way, crafting his albums in the recording studio with deliberate care. Many of those albums have featured his scorching electric-guitar playing, for example Exploded View (ECM, 1986) and the later A Man About a Horse (ECM, 2002). But beginning with his previous album, Natural Causes (ECM, 2010), ...
