Review of "Sphere Of Influence"
|
By: Douglas Sloan
ino Foti is a man of immense talents. Like his album
Orbis Terrarum, Sphere Of Influence examines and expands the genre of world fusion
to a whole new dimension. Foti not only produces, arranges, mixes and masters Sphere
Of Influence, but he also performs on all forms of bass guitars including MIDI bass,
plays a host of different keyboards and creates and extracts sound loops and samples
with skillful, surgeon-like mastery. It's hard to believe that Foti is actually
playing the bass on "Amor Y Poder" when it sounds so much more like a nylon string
classical guitar. His technique is stunning to say the least. Saluting great bass
players like Jaco Pastorius, Jonas Hellborg, Geddy Lee and others, it's no wonder
why Foti's playing has grown to such mammoth proportions. If you're adventurous and
are looking for a new voice in jazz fusion, I highly recommend you check out Foti's
music.
