Lynn & McConville

A 7 track fusion ep (15m 46s) — released May 18th 2018 on Kinnego Records

#jazz #fusion

Barry Lynn and drummer James McConville deliver a 7-track record of multi-tracked instrumental music, drawing from progressive rock and jazz funk, but with a brevity and lightness of touch that aims it at maximum accessibility. Clocking in at 7 tracks in just over 15 minutes, it's a densely-packed listen nonetheless.
Opener "Donegal" evokes summer holidays in the west, before "Primary 7"'s off-kilter funk and "Pebble Dash"'s melodic shuffle lead to the title track, a rolling atmospheric funk track in an odd meter. Next up, "Fives and Sixes" grooves to resonant guitar parts whistling in the high end, before "Air Loom"'s gritty expanded harmonies and ascending drum part reaches a gentle conclusion. Closer "Grasshopper" completes the record, in a haze of Hendrix impressions replete with old school tape flanging.creditsreleased April 13, 2018
