Awesome band! This is my favorite type of music for Guthrie. I mean fusion, jazz AND blues. But I love Erotic Cakes album because it’s such a good mix of various styles
I love the way he throws in famous riffs without anyone barely even noticing. I heard Baker Street in there somewhere which fits nicely given the location haha
Jazz rock fusion is his natural home. However it’s hard to make a living playing this stuff because it’s hard to listen to and only appeals to guitar geeks. Alan Holdsworth had the same problem. It’s not jazz, it’s not rock, it’s not an easy listen. He’s going to be playing to guitar geek wannabes for the rest of his life.
I agree. Holds worth may be laundered as a genius, but he also failed miserably. He's okay in small doses. Guthrie has spread his wings and will not suffer the same fate - the new Aristocrats album is great. Yet again will appeal to a smallish audience.
