This double album captures two nights of live performances by jazz drummer Jerry Granelli and his dual guitar project V16 recorded at Halifax studio The Sonic Temple during the Atlantic Jazz Festival in 2006. The tunes are presented on this audiophile recording exactly as they were performed live, unedited and in the order played: seven band originals and a James Brown cover played as a lyrical slow blues. The same setlist played both nights allows listeners to compare, contrast and appreciate the improvisational nature of each performance.
Jerry Granelli’s career in music spans the last 45 years. Drummer on Vince Guaraldi’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” cited in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the inventors of psychedelic music, pioneer in world-jazz fusion and electro-acoustic percussion, founder/co-director of the music department at Boulder’s Naropa Institute, longtime associate of Mose Allison, Dewey Redman, Ralph Towner, Jane Ira Bloom, Julian Priester, Jay Clayton and Anthony Cox, and with a string of wide-ranging projects under his own name in the last 20 years, Granelli has been on the scene for so long – as percussionist, teacher and bandleader – that there may be a tendency to take him for granted.
Or not know where to pigeon-hole him. His last release for Songlines, Sandhills Reunion, was an “audio movie” (with spoken text by Rinde Eckert) that covered a lot of musical and poetic ground. V16’s first record came out in 2003 (The V16 Project) with Anthony Cox on bass – though he never toured with the band – and with the current guitar team, the justly acclaimed David Tronzo and the equally talented Christian Kogel, a former student of Jerry’s in Berlin and member of his previous two-guitar band UFB. Like those bands, V16 ambles through the jazz cloakroom without hanging its hat. This time round it’s even less classifiable, although Jerry says that it “rocks out” but also that it represents “jazz as it can be in the 21st century….The material is plasma-like, always in flux and development. We all have these vast musical lives that we’ve led and that’s what we bring with us….The band offers such a rich sound palette, I think of everybody as sound artists rather than musicians.” (By the way, the steel sculpture that Jerry plays was made for him by San Francisco artist Peter Englehart). We’ve been searching for a tag for this music, but terms like “avant jamband” don’t really convey what’s going on; descriptions like “spacey ambient/improv/freeform roots’n’blues-cum-chamber jazz” are unwieldy. And partly beside the point – they identify some stylistic markers and approaches but not what makes it all hang together.
