I was immediately hooked on their unique take on prog; intricate yet accessible with loads of melody and played with precision and panache. They took a number of disparate elements and melded them into something new to my ears and soon became one of my top picks of the year. It took a while for the full album to appear, 2010's Spiral Vendetta, and by that time Marsh had left to be replaced for the album by the masterful Bryan Beller with Dan Nelson, then just 17, joining full time later in the year. It is this line-up, completed by singer/guitarist/songwriter Darran Charles and drummer/keyboardist Steve Roberts that have produced the second full-length Godsticks release, The Envisage Conundrum, building on their previous recordings, developing their style and, if anything, making them a more interesting proposition than ever. With their original release having a big foot in the jazz camp thanks to Marsh's bass skills they also added, unusually for albums in the prog field, an almost R'n'B sensibility from Charles soulful vocals. Couple this with a www.dprp.net/reviews/201307.php#godsticks 1/18 4/29/13 DPRP : CD & DVD REVIEWS unusually for albums in the prog field, an almost R'n'B sensibility from Charles soulful vocals. Couple this with a love of Frank Zappa and classic prog plus the inclusion of additional 'heaviness' on the new album and The Envisage Conundrum proves to be a wonderful summation of where the band currently stand. Charles' songs are idiosyncratic and from the heart and the musicianship from all concerned is top rate. Despite the apparent trials and tribulations of the recording process they have managed to produce a wonderful recording that is sure to feature high in my top ten for 2013. Originality has always been the watchword with Godsticks and that is still the case. This is no replication of past glories as the sound has been pushed forward into new areas whilst losing none of its appeal. The additional heaviness does not swamp the music and is not prevalent throughout but used to good effect to beef up the sound here and there. It is just another facet that this band pull off with considerable aplomb. The writing is efficient and to the point and, as previously, none of the songs outstay their welcome which is a real talent given the intricacy of the pieces; no need for extended pieces when the writing is this good and the band can turn on a sixpence. Godsticks aren't out to dazzle with their talent but they manage it anyway despite the focus being on conveying the songs to the best of their ability. After a slow start on the live front Godsticks have now honed their skills through considerable amounts of road work and this comes across in the new music. The band feel settled and work well together and there is a sense of quiet confidence in what they do that helps them to deliver the goods convincingly. Where they go from here is anyone's guess but it is likely to be a very enjoyable journey. Steve Roberts' keyboard intro, Convergence, sets up Caught in a Bind which sweeps in on a typically sinewy guitar line from Charles, the new heaviness apparent and Roberts' drums simply sparkling in a great production by Joe Gibb who worked on Spiral Vendetta. The mood heads for a menacing King Crimson feel and then the vocal arrives, warm and rich, giving the album its character. There is a pounding urgency to the title track, the odd meter giving way to Charles' shining vocal which keeps things calm while quirkiness rises and falls all around him. This track really is like nothing that has gone before. The guitars crunch one minute and fly the next and the rhythm section shows just how good they are. Where Beller's bass was recorded separately for The Spiral Vendetta, here Dan Nelson sounds fully integrated into the recording process and he plays well beyond his years. As evidenced by recent Godsticks shows plus the rhythm sections work with Magenta and Cyan, he interacts rather wonderfully with Steve Roberts who is one of the most thrilling and skilled drummers around. The contribution of both to this album is just immense. Darran Charles' lyrics are as unique as the music. The meaning is often embedded and elusive but he has a real way with his words which often come across in a poetic fashion and are a perfect fit to the unusual but inherently effective songs. Vocals are often double-tracked to good effect allowing Darren to harmonise with himself, his twin voices swirling around each other gloriously. The album is particularly well put together and sounds superb and what appears to have been a nightmare period of mixing has clearly paid dividends as the results are wonderful to behold. In a Way That Ended Me features the trademark piano for the first time, a bouncing bass from Nelson and acoustic guitars driven along by a skipping rhythm from Roberts. With some of the guitar parts doubled and guest backing vocals from Bruce Soord of The Pineapple Thief the sound is full and all-encompassing, Charles' voice holding its soulful edge. The album builds on the past, incorporates new elements and textures and points the band towards a very bright future. The song writing has developed, the players gelling into a very exciting unit and on top of that there is the satisfying uniqueness of the results. It is a difficult job to come up with a whole that doesn't give away its influences but Godsticks manage this with a nuanced approach built on their own idiosyncratic vision of what the band should be about. Benchmark starts beautifully with acoustic guitar and fretless bass. The songs are all different and the album doesn't sink into the samey rut that befalls many. There is integrity to the chosen path but with so much variety that listeners won't get bored. The textures and focal points slide in and out of view as smoothly as a well oiled machine but with human frailties displayed in the lyrical content. Submerged sweeps in on a staccato guitar rhythm with almost jazzy piano and rhythms and as near to an epic chorus as Godsticks are ever likely to come up with. This is a beautifully realised work that sounds as fresh as a daisy and, unfettered from an over-reliance on comparisons, Godsticks are free to do what they do. All concerned should be rightly proud. As is often the case in Charles' music contradictory parts come together and work surprisingly well together as here where a wonderfully unusual guitar solo is set at odds with the supporting instrumentation. Charles is a particularly accomplished player with a very individual style which he manages to incorporate into equally individualistic material. In no way is this a stunt guitar album but often the playing just takes your breath away. Not only are the players on top of their game, they are also on the same page and successfully service the material for the benefit of the album as a whole. It is this restrained approach that benefits Godsticks the most. A Brief Foray continues the piano and fretless jazz feel in a more relaxed fashion, Charles' voice beautifully carrying the lyrics in an off kilter and well constructed piece that remains rooted in melody. Multi-tracking and over layering is used to good effect, a series of fine spidery and Zappa-esque guitar solos topping things off nicely. With regards to the influences, Frank Zappa is a key touchstone for Charles in particular but it seldom becomes overtly obvious and is just another tasty ingredient in a stew of wonderful flavours. Disclosure is an interesting departure, a solo piano piece from Steve Roberts that more that underlines the important influence that Keith Emerson has had on his musical thinking. This is a well put together piece that shows Roberts' skills on the ivories.

    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

  • PATTO – the JOHN HALSEY INTERVIEW
    PATTO – the JOHN HALSEY INTERVIEW Patto, apart from being one of the finest (purely subjective, of course) bands this country ever produced, were not blessed with good fortune. Forever on the verge of making it really big, they broke up after six years of knocking on the door and finding no-one home. Subsequently, two of their number died while the other two were involved in a terrible car smash which left one with severe physical injuries and the other with severe mental problems. Drummer John Halsey is now the only Patto member who could possible give us an interview. Mike Patto and Ollie Halsall are both gone, while bassist Clive Griffiths apparently doesn't even recall being in a band! Despite bearing the scars of the accident (Halsey walks with a pronounced limp), John was only too pleased to submit to a Terrascopic grilling - an interview which took place in the wonderful Suffolk pub he runs with his wife Elaine. Bancroft and I spent a lovely afternoon and evening with the Halseys, B & B'd in the shadow of a 12th Century church cupboard and returned to London the next morning with one of the most enjoyable interviews either of us has ever done. John Halsey: I started playing drums because two mates who lived in my road in North Finchley (N. London), where I'm from, wanted to form a group. This was years and years ago, 1958, 1959. Want to see the photo? PT: Oh, look at that! 1959! Me, with a microphone inside me guitar that used to go out through me Mum's tape recorder, and if you put 'Record' and 'Play' on together, it'd act like an amplifier.

  • Mark's Music Notes for December 2011…
    MARK’S MUSIC NOTES FOR DECEMBER 2011… The Black Keys follow up their excellent 2010 album Brothers with the upbeat El Camino, another great album that commercial radio will probably ignore just like it did with Brothers. In a day and age where CD sales are on the decline, record labels continue to re-issue classic titles with proven track records in new incarnations that include unreleased material, re-mastered sound, and often lavish box sets. Though not yet included in Music Notes, Pink Floyd and Queen both had their entire catalogs re-vamped this year, and they sound great. Jethro Tull’s classic Aqualung album has been expanded, re-mixed and re-mastered with the level of care and quality that should be the standard for all re-issues. The Rolling Stones have already released expanded remasters and box sets on Exile On Main Street and Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out, and now their top selling album, Some Girls has received the same treatment. Be Bop Deluxe is a 1970’s band that most readers will be unfamiliar with. They never had any mainstream success in the U.S., but the band had several great albums, and their entire studio catalog has recently been remastered and compiled into a concise box set. The Black Keys – El Camino Vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and Drummer Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, have said that they have been listening to a lot of Rolling Stones lately, and they set out to record a more direct rock and roll album than their last album, Brothers was.
