MP3 Harley Card - Non-Fiction
8 MP3 Songs
JAZZ: Contemporary Jazz, JAZZ: Modern Creative Jazz
Details:
“Non-Fiction” is the highly anticipated debut release from Jazz guitarist and composer, Harley Card. The album features eight original compositions by the guitarist, performed by his quartet. The group consists of pianist Matt Newton, bassist Jon Maharaj and drummer Ethan Ardelli.
The album introduces Harley as a talented, emerging guitarist and presents eight unique and cleverly arranged pieces of music, boasting a promising compositional voice. Rooted in the Jazz tradition, the music demonstrates a rich understanding of harmony, rhythm, and form. Harley’s music also displays a keen Pop sensibility that sets him apart from a lot of modern Jazz that relies on melodic complexity.
The album goes back and forth between featuring Harley on electric guitar with his characteristic dark warm tone, and the shimmering sound of his steel string acoustic. Pianist, Matt Newton shines on grand piano and creates a wide palette of textures with the Fender Rhodes.
