Vic Juris - Walking On Water

Juris' versatile and innovative mind finds a perfect setting on this album, in the relatively seldom heard guitar/trumpet quartet (without piano). Vic has been collaborating in trumpeter Tim Hagans' Norbotten Big Band for several years to lay down the groundwork for this creative album. Vic Juris is a versatile and impressively accomplished guitarist. His playing exudes warmth, intelligence and respect for the tradition. Perhaps best of all, he seems to understand that the foregoing positives also apply to a legion of contemporary guitarists, and he looks for ways to set his work apart, in terms of sound, approach, or material. - JazzTimes on Remembering Eric Dolphy SCCD31453) Personnel: Vic Juris (guitar), Tim Hagans (trumpet), Jay Anderson (bass), Anthony Pinciotti (drums)
