CutMotion by Jean-Paul Bourelly
This cd springs into action already with the first tones, as if you are in the midst of a bubbling hot jam with Jean-Paul Bourelly's blazing guitar taking center stage. The session was a collaborative brainchild of Bazillus founder Beat Kennel and Bourelly; Kennel who was a fan of Bourelly's music set out to use some of Bourelly's earlier BluWave Bandit grooves as the basis for some completely new music. They both decided at the end to just create a new session around some of those grooves.
To single out one tune or another is hardly necessary.
The cd grooves relentlessly from beginning to end and leaves no one without sweating. You only have to imagine the stage and that will be easy once you put this cd on. Phat, and very bold. Bourellys guitar playing is (as usual) impressive and the band is super tight. The different musical styles of the two evenings end up deepening the the overall landscape.
Here and there (like on Funkatrail Line) one recalls the music of Defunkt in one of their good phases.
Bourelly Lives! And he continues to be good on disc and for this we can all rejoice!
