Review of "Heavy Meddle"

pix
By: Robert Silverstein

letter ong Island's best instrumental rock fusion band, Magic Elf proves that the finest fusion not only rocks but also swings. The 2003 CD from guitarist / composer Carl Roa, drummer Dave Miranda and bassist Roy Altemus, Heavy Meddle is far and away their most inspiring studio release yet. Roa still sounds clearly influenced by the '70s sounds of Steve Morse and Pat Metheny while there's also an interesting Martin Barre / Jan Akkerman guitar influence (check out the soaring "Godspeed") with Roa's superb electric guitar work extrapolating from a broad, classically-etched palate of instrumental rock styles. The all instrumental 9 track CD maintains a very high energy and spirit and provides many fine spins for fusion fans. Heavy Meddle features guest appearance Saul Zonana (bass) and Pat Cummings (mandolin) while the amazing cover art is a good barometer of the fearless, soaring music within.
