Tomo Fujita & Blue Funk
Put On Your Funk Face
Our Price: $17.00
(Price Includes U.S. shipping)
More Info
Skillfully blending genres such as blues, funk and jazz, the original instrumental compositions on Tomo Fujita's debut CD, Put On Your Funk Face, are a mixture of the guitarist's many diverse influences: Earth, Wind and Fire, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Pass, Larry Carlton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Meters. "Just Funky" and "Meltdown" are impressive examples of fusion/funk magic, while "Orange Juice & Water" and "Don't Wake Me" advance Fujita's blues agenda, as he bends and slides his way through warm, resonant solos and ultra-clean, soulful melodies. Fujita demonstrates a great touch and sense of dynamics throughout Put On Your Funk Face, which makes this release essential listening for fans of his brand of sonic stylings. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 46:56

'Alternate Realities'
Review Featured In JazzWorldQuest
brilliant composer and guitar player, Al Garcia released what we can call
an excelent example of jazz rock oriented fusion although the material on
the CD goes beyond narrow classifications. Unexpected and stimulating, the
music on "Alternate Realities" is a journey through the universe of jazz
rock and progressive fusion blended by a master musician. From monumental
compositions, lighting guitar solos, Latin percussion interventions to
sophisticated ethereal textures, this album has everything to delight fusion
fans.
