dB-INFUSION /MUSO & PROUD

Fantastic cover, fantastic album! Guitar maestro Danny Berdichevsky and his boys have here crafted a great package of twelve dazzling pieces which vary in style, tempo, mood and intensity. Those who are familiar with the band will all know the frenetic opener, their superb rocked-up version of Rimsky-Korsakov's classic 'Flight Of The Bumblebee' - here renamed 'Flight Of The BumbleBEAT'. The superb work of Danny here sets the scene perfectly for what is to follow. Though elements of rock, classical and Flamenco all bubble up from time to time, the main angle here is jazz. Beautifully languid Berdichevsky compositions such as 'Ocean Tales' and 'The River' call to mind the heyday of classical-rock combo Sky, while works by composers as diverse as John Coltrane and Paco De Lucia are rendered in great style by the band and an impressive array of guests including John Helliwell, John Etheridge, John Hackett, Peter Banks and Hugh McDowell. Berdichevsky's own guitar-work is as breathtaking as ever, and the interplay between this and the exquisite keyboards of co-conspirator Gonzalo Carrera is a joy to behold - with their band-mates Ollie Usiskin, Lakis Economou, Steve Stephenson and Rob Statham all making their presence felt by their own stylish musical contributions. An album for lovers of ALL music, this one - the musicianship here is of the very highest class, and the music itself is complex, evocative and very, very enjoyable.
