Travis Reuter -][- ROTATIONAL TEMPLATES – [New Focus Recordings, 2011] – Music Reviewed

Visionary, composer and guitarist Travis Reuter has sculpted an impressive canvas of inimitable, expressive and complex tones co-exist in the body of improvised music on his latest offering “Rotational Templates.”

As I listen to the heartfelt yet multifaceted entities exposed throughout I had to take a closer look at what this involves and look beyond the scope of his technical ability to grasp the idea that this music was not merely comprise for technique purposes alone but most importantly the music comes from his heart!

From my perspective, “Rotational Templates” contains five infallible nuggets that are harmonically challenging. Moreover, this repertoire of songs is brilliantly executed by this multi-talented ensemble via their inventiveness and meticulous dialogue enabled them to transmit these odd-measured and impressionistic shapes and form them in a way the average listener can encompass this abstract soundscape.

Truvibe (US) -][- Tru Beginnings -(MP3)- [TruVibe Productions, 2011]

After a couple cups of coffee, meditation, and the Saturday paper my usual quest to discover new jazz and possibly other interesting sounds begins. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to stumble into some samples by this group called TruVibe. They are a up and coming neosoul jazz group that’s about to uncover some vital nuggets for music lovers to enjoy and savor.

In the meantime, I haven’t been able to find hardly any bio information I stand corrected do to the excitement I over looked the groups label “TruVibe Productions.” Go here, to read the Bio about this truly amazing group.

If you’re in the market for music that’s influenced by violinist Noel Pointer, Regina Carter, Karen Briggs, and Roy Ayers then be sure and check out the cool and vibrant sounds of Truvibe. At your leisure, visit and bookmark their page at Facebook.com.
