PHIL
MANZANERA |
|||
Back
in 1975, Phil Manzanera recorded his now historic album with the group
Quiet Sun. Entitled Mainstream, that fantastic recording featured
Phil in the company of drummer Charles Hayward and bass player
Bill MacCormick. On Phils 2008 solo CD Firebird VII,
he teams once again with Hayward and MacCormick, as well as Yaron
Stavi (bass) and classical/jazz pianist Lezek Mozdzer.
A modern masterpiece of cutting edge instrumental rock fusion, Firebird
VII was partly inspired by Phils red and white Gibson Firebird
VII guitarhis signature guitar that hes had a 35 year
music partnership with. Each of the musicians here contributes a track
and in fact, both pieces by Hayward and MacCormick were written way
back in the 70s for the Quiet Sun album, but until now, never
were recorded. Not only is Firebird VII superbly recorded and
tastefully arranged, but the CD cover art is pleasing to behold and
is topped off by a fine booklet detailing the albums origins,
in depth bios of all the players contributing and of course some well
timed history behind Phils famous red signature Firebird guitar.
