Elliott Sharp - Sally Gates - Tashi Dorji - Ere Guitar

In August 2023, guitarist Elliott Sharp met with fellow guitarists Sally Gates and Tashi Dorji in his Manhattan recording studio. Ere Guitar celebrates the great art of the guitar, played by musicians who seek new paths and create the current sound of the day. The line-up of the album Ere Guitar initially ties in with its predecessor Err Guitar with Mary Halvorson and Marc Ribot. Here, too, we meet a trio chosen by Elliott Sharp, whose focus is on spontaneous improvisation. Although the compositional element was greater on Err Guitar and reduced to a minimum on Ere Guitar, these two albums are in no way complementary. Together they recount the search for the unexpected, the unheard, for a formal and tonal complexity that develops from the encounter of three creative musicians, writes Harry Lachner in the liner notes.
