L.A. based guitarist Mike Clinco debuts on WCS with "Neon." To acquaint you with Mike, he became associated with Lionel Newman of 20th Century Fox as a session guitarist for many films and television shows. A list of the people he has toured and recorded with reads like a Who's Who of the entertainment industry. He has worked with everyone from Bobby McFerrin to Luciano Pavarotti and Natalie Cole, to name only a few. Stellar sidemen on this project include saxophonist Bob Sheppard, who toured with Chick Corea's "Origin" for two years, and is featured on Chick Corea's Grammy nominated CD "Change." Walt Fowler's (flugelhorn) credits include working with Billy Childs, James Taylor and Frank Zappa. Acoustic bassist Darek "Oles" Oleszkiewicz's partial list of collaborations include Brad Mehldau, Billy Higgins, and Pat Metheny. On electric bass, Jimmy Johnson has worked with John Abercrombie, Sergio Mendes, and Lee Ritenour. Drummer Jimmy Branly has past projects with Flora Purim and Airto Moreira as well as Brandon Fields. Charlie Banacos writes in the great liner notes that "This is one of those extraordinary recordings that will please many listeners." Good advice from someone who knows his stuff!

Charlie Banacos Liner Notes
David Jr. Arruda Concept, Design
The dogmatists, ideologues,and rigid purists of the jazz world have a lot of silly ideas, and one of them is the notion that jazz musicians aren't legitimate unless they are recording a bunch of warhorses that have already been recorded literally hundreds of times over the years. But truth be told, there is absolutely nothing wrong with jazzmen emphasizing their own material as long as they are talented composers -- and Mike Clinco's compositions serve him well on the self-produced Neon. The only song on this 2009 release that the lyrical guitarist didn't write himself is Henry Mancini's "Charade," which Clinco performs in a highly introspective fashion. Everything else on Neon is a Clinco original, and that includes enjoyable post-bop selections like "Sonship," "Bookends, and the Brazilian-flavored "Amalgam." Post-bop dominates Neon, although Clinco ventures into fusion territory when he shows some rock influence on "X Cue Says" and "Beaten Paths." Not only does Clinco (who features saxman/flutist Bob Sheppard and flugelhornist Walt Fowler extensively on this 52-minute CD) reject the dogma that jazz artists are obligated to make overdone standards a high priority on all of their albums -- he also rejects the notion that jazzmen should not allow themselves to be influenced by rock under any circumstances. Most of Neon is straight-ahead post-bop rather than fusion, but even so, the fact that "X Cue Says" and "Beaten Paths" are as rock-influenced as they are demonstrates that Clinco is not opposed to making some fusion moves when he feels it is appropriate. Neon is a solid illustration of Clinco's skills as both a guitarist and a composer. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide |
