INFUSION DREAMSCAPE

The multi-talented Infusion is back with an absolute jaw-dropping piece ofjazz-rock or jazz-fusion, depending on what your take is. Superb musicianship and equally spellbinding material make for a superb listen. The basis of Danny Berdichevsky, Gonzalo Carrera, Rob Statham, Ollie Usiskin and the late Steve Stephenson is high-energy in itself, but when they can draw on the saxophonic's of John Helliwell, cello of Hugh McDowell, guitar of John Etheridge and flute of Rowland Sutherland plus a whole host ofexcellent guests it comes out of the mincing machine as something veryspecial. To hear some of the acoustic guitar work of Berdichevsky alone is a treat and you must have ears painted on not to appreciate what is happening. There's some pretty stirring piano and bass work from Carrera and Statham respectively. Great stuff!

"This was one of those magical gigs that fully lived up to its billing. First on stage were the brilliant INFUSION. Support bands often get a raw deal, and often have to put up with people laughing, shouting, buying drinks and generally not paying them attention - but not tonight. From their lively opening piece Yo-Yo, this exciting jazz/rock/fusion outfit had the crowd spellbound, and by the end of their set were getting rapturous applause.

Gonzalo Carrera is well known to CRS, having played with almost as many bands as Martin Hudson has had birthdays (sorry, couldn't resist that!). He's a great guy, and it is a mark of his talent as a keyboard player that tonight he was no way overshadowed by Oliver. Listening to his excellent work on a manic Flight of the Bumblebee (which works really well given the fusion treatment) was a pleasure. His mate Danny Berdichevsky is equally talented on the guitar and contributed some breathtaking playing, his flamenco influences surfacing on the enchanting Jerusalem; to hear these two maestros on pieces like Little Drops of Rain (which they dedicate to percussionist Steve, who sadly died in a car crash) and Dark and Blue made this a memorable evening for me and, I'll bet, many others. They were offered fine support by the excellent Ollie Usiskin on drums and the intricate bass work of Rob Statham, and went down a storm with the crowd - they must be one of the most talented bands ever to have played a support slot for the CRS: let's hope we see them headlining one day!"

I really enjoyed the gig at the national theatre, great band, great musicians with excellent dexterity combined with very beautiful melodies and a nice mixture of flamenco, jazz rock and fusion. One of my favourite songs of the evening was "Dark and Blue". I indeed predict a great future to these guys.
