Electric Blue

Light on the guitar, but heavy on the six-string violin through a host of guitar effects, Electric Blue features eclectic, high-energy acid rock jazz/funk from electric violinist Joe Deninzon. Electric Blue is a journey exploring the outer realms of the violin. From the in-your-face attack of "Shock Therapy" and "Bluzak", to the funky acid jazz grooves of "Acid Rabbits", to the Caribbean flavor of "In Stride" and "An Evening Nap in the Afternoon Sun", to the abstract expressionism of "The Dark Frontier" and Thelonious Monk's " Well You Needn't" , Electric Blue covers a lot of musical ground and proves that the violin can rock and swing with the best of them. Joe Deninzon mixes the influences of Jimi Hendrix, Jean-Luc Ponty, John Coltrane, and Frank Zappa, among others, and comes up with a very unique and tasty buffet for the ears.
