Having worked together in the stunning Joe Morris Quartet, and as a trio with Mat's father Joe Maneri, two of the world's greatest soul improvisers and technical prodigies on their respective intruments acted upon a long-standing desire to set up microphones, press record on the reels, and unleash a series of fully improvised theatres of sound. 'Soul Search' is the result. Subtlety and nuance and LISTENING rule. Improvisation does not come any more advanced on the fluid heart-mind continuum. -SJ
From the liner notes by Joe Morris:
As far as Mat Maneri and I are concerned, there is only one way to approach creating music and that is by attempting to make an original statement, even if that means alienating or offending someone. We know that music that music that eventually passes the test of time comes from artists who have delved deeply into the elemental substructure of the language of music and found a way to open minds to new ideas. Mat and I reach for the place that touches our sense of meaning in the most contemporary way. The sharpest listeners are on the same quest as we are. They will understand the title "Soul Search" because they will listen to this music with their hearts as well as their minds. They are deep enough to know that a complex organization of sound played with unique technique can only be made by a curious person dealing with life as an adventure into uncharted territory, in the hopes of deciphering some meaning out of the mystery. They also know better than to suggest that thinking and feeling have to be separate. Sometimes we have to feel things to understand them and understand things to feel them. -Joe Morris, February 2000
Joe Morris
Active Decades: '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Sep 13, 1955 in New Haven, CT
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde, Post-Bop, Free Jazz, Avant-Garde Jazz
Joe Morris is an uncompromisingly original guitarist following in the tradition of other free-jazz guitar, conceptual innovators like Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, Eugene Chadbourne, and James Ulmer. However, Mr. Morris has developed his own, unique approach to guitar playing, composition, and improvisation which is unlike his peers. He usually incorporates a clean tone of the be-bop lineage for his single-note driven improvisations. His recordings are widely eclectic ranging from solo performances, traditional acoustic settings, and fusion dates to various groups with interesting instrumentation Mr. Morris spent his formative years in New Haven, Connecticut where he taught himself the guitar and immersed himself in a variety of progressive musical styles. He spent numerous weekends attending free symphonic productions at nearby Yale University which included performances of artists as diverse as Karlheinz Stockhausen, Charles Ives, and Duke Ellington. Attention to local AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) members Leo Smith and George Lewis and a world-music radio show presented by percussionist Gerry Hemmingway also helped Mr. Morris develop his wide musical pallette. In 1975, Mr. Morris moved to Boston where his unique approach was not initially accepted in the then-prevalent, modal-jazz scene. Despite this temporary setback, and some time spent playing guitar in Europe, he developed a pivotal, collaborative relationship with multi-instrumentalist Lowell Davidson whose unique sound explorations inspired Mr. Morris to further develop his own original approach to music making. In 1981 Mr. Morris began his own label, Riti Records (named after an African, single-stringed folk-instrument), to document his prolific musical output. During the 90's he became, arguably, the most widely heralded free-jazz guitarist in jazz while recording with many avant garde luminaries. Mr. Morris became the first guitarist to lead a recording session for the prestigious Black Saint/ Soul Note records with 1994's Symbolic Gesture, and he has continued to record extensively for many outstanding labels such as ECM, Hat Hut, Leo, Incus, Okka Disk, Homestead, About Time, Knitting Factory Works, No More Records, AUM Fidelity, and Omnitone. Also, Mr. Morris has given lectures and workshops for Harvard University, New England Conservatory, Berklee College of Music, and other European universities. Joe Morris recordings can currently be obtained through Cadence/ North Country Distribution or his website at www.joe-morris.com.
