Muthspiel / Colley / Blade Angular Blues

The Austrian guitarist is paired here with long time collaborator Brian Blade on drums and Scott Colley, whose especially earthy sound helps give this trio its own dynamic. Muthspiel alternates between acoustic and electric guitar and, along with his characteristically melodic originals, plays some standards, his firstever bebop rhythmchanges tune on record and a single guitaronly track with electronic delay imbuing the baroquelike rounds with a hypnotic glow.
