Eric Hofbauer - Ghost Frets flac album

Ghost Frets - Complete Liner Notes. Following a spate of solo guitar albums - American Vanity (2002), American Fear (2010) and American Grace (2012) - the Boston-based artist Eric Hofbauer gravitated away from the solo idiom for a time.

Hofbauer’s solo guitar trilogy - American Vanity (2002), American Fear (2010) and American Grace (2012) - was remarkable in the way it expanded the song canon, and with it the idiomatic reach of the instrument. The album title was inspired by video footage of Leonard Bernstein rehearsing The Rite of Spring in 1987 where he instructs the timpanist to play like prehistoric jazz. In that one term from Bernstein, Hofbauer found all the affirmation he needed to venture his own small-group treatment of the Rite For me, Hofbauer explains, connecting with that feeling of ‘the prehistoric jazz’ was my entrée into this masterwork of shifting syncopated rhythms and polytonality.

Eric Hofbauer has become a significant force in Boston’s improvised-music scene, declares Stereophile’s David R. Adler. His aesthetic evokes old blues, Americana, Tin Pan Alley, bebop, and further frontiers. There’s a rule-breaking spirit but also an impeccable rigor, a foundation of sheer chops and knowledge, that put Hofbauer in the top tier of guitarists, he writes. His most recent solo release Ghost Frets, was described by Chris Haines of The Free Jazz Collective as a real testament to Hofbauer’s musical style and visio. he playing is virtuosic throughout providing a real master class in creative solo performance. Ghost Frets is a tribute to Hofbauer’s departed friend and frequent collaborator, Garrison Fewell, and features several Fewell compositions as well as pieces by diverse artists including Eric Dolphy, George Harrison, and the Psychedelic Furs!
