DREAMS, NIGHTMARES AND IMPROVISATIONS

2012 release. Four masters of musical improvisation collaborate on the latest release from esteemed drummer Chad Wackerman. Known for his work with Frank Zappa, Allan Holdsworth and James Taylor, Wackerman blurs the line between composed and improvised pieces on “Dreams, Nightmares and Improvisations” (Chad’s 5th solo release). The featured musicians: guitar legend Allan Holdsworth, (who plays on 10 of the CD’s 14 tracks), bassist Jimmy Johnson and keyboardist Jim Cox, have all developed a unique musical telepathy with Wackerman over decades, which is allowed to shine on this inventive adventurous CD. Ranging from atmospheric to edgy, the music on “Dreams, Nightmares and Improvisations” showcases four creative musicians at the height of their musical powers. Wackerman has structured the CD so that the interplay between the performers is ever-present. Many of the improvised pieces sound like fully formed compositions, while the written pieces provide ample opportunities for spontaneous flow. Tracks include: “Glass Lullaby”, “A New Day”, “Bent Bayou”, “Star Gazing”, “Edith Street”, “The Fifth”, “Waterways”, “The Billows”, “Monsieur Vintage”, “Rapid Eeye Movement”, “Brain Funk”, “A Spontaneous Story” “Two For Ya” & “Invisible”.
