Given the label and roster here, one should have a good idea of whats in store
for Guitar Supreme: Giant Steps in Fusion Guitar: fusion guitar giants
performing well played, immaculately produced songs written or popularized by
John Coltrane. And thats what it delivers, but while some of the performances
are impressive, the overall sound seems to place more emphasis on technique and
production than the spiritual passion embodied by Coltrane. Each player is
backed by electric bass, drums, Hammond organ and rhythm guitar, giving each
song an almost-funky smooth jazz vibe. This works fairly well on songs like Mr.
Syms and Village Blues, but its pretty inappropriate for Resolution (part of the
Love Supreme Suite), where the solemn spirituality of the original is completely
undermined by the upbeat backing. On most of the other songs, once the head of
the tune is stated, they all begin to sound the same since every tune is given
exactly the same treatment. Afro Blue is one of the album highlights, with Jeff
Richmans distorted tone giving a bit of edge to the sound, Mike Stern does a
nice My Favorite Things, and Greg Howe turns in a couple of fiery solos. Robben
Fords take on Village Blues is also well done, but the other tracks end up all
blending together. None of this is bad, mind you, and the folks who are into the
Tone Center/Shrapnel sound will be pleased and perhaps spurred to investigate
more music from the jazz spectrum. Keep in mind that this is an album geared for
fusion/guitar fans much more than John Coltrane fans, and you shouldnt be
disappointed.~Sean Westergaard
