Shuffle Mode

by Guillermo E. Brown

Digital Album

Free Jazz drummers tend to be otherworldly creatures. imagine sitting down for a spot of tea with Milford Graves, or a taking in a modern dance recital with Ed Blackwell- the whole time a meta-physical foot keeps time. saves swells, and drum fills pulse around your head as they seem to communicate with all living matter in the room.

Guillermo Brown commands this group of songs much like this. with tremendous imagination and mastery-
SHUFFLE MODE kicks off with a surging platitude of hope, each note insists that you actually believe him, this is no cursory listen, and while the "Drummer side" of Brown keeps the rhythm shifting beneath you pushing your head to bob, it is his sense melody, and harmonic playfulness that made us at Cleveland Tapes bang the masters for days after we got the files. sure fire. but don't take our word for it, give a listen- you'll see.
