Scenes -[|]- SILENT PHOTOGRAPHER – [Origin Records, 2011]

After a decade of performing together, the rapport between guitarist John Stowell, bassist Jeff Johnson, and drummer John Bishop has reached what Cadence magazine calls “an enviable tightness.”

Whether performing their intriguing originals or the thoughtful reimaginings of less-done classics, each piece is a ticket to somewhere unique, like a travelogue of where the trio’s members have been and where they would like to go. “…musical creativity at its best.” —Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant. –Origin Records

Scenes - Rinnova

Scenes | “Rinnova” – [Origin / OA2, 2010]

“One of those rare records that almost insidiously creeps its way into the subconscious ”

From its inception in 2001, Scenes has added a distinctive voice to the classic guitar trio lexicon through the creative group aesthetic applied by guitarist John Stowell, bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer John Bishop. For their latest release, the trio presents a set of compelling originals as they also explore varying sonic textures with Stowell’s use of nylon string guitar, and even the fretless-guitar on the closing track.

Johnson introduces his singular approach to the electric bass on several cuts as an alternative to the acoustic bass. With a stirring intent, the harmonic and rhythmically unfettered world of “Rinnova” unfolds to each listener at a unique pace, always challenging, and always delighting. “…at times reminiscent of guitarist John Abercrombie’s trio, but more in its aesthetic than any direct stylistic reference.” -All About Jazz
