Release Notes:

SCHEINMAN, violon / JOHN SHIFFLETT, basse / SCOTT
AMENDOLA, batterie, etc
A la tete d'un groupe a deux guitares - NELS CLINE
(de WILCO) et JEFF PARKER (de TORTOISE) le
batteur, a la frappe inspiree par JACK DEJOHNETTE
ou CONNIE KAY, nous presente son 3e album en leader
qui nous promene en des terres familieres, deja
explorees sur les meilleures compos de BILL
FRISELL. Rien de surprenant a cela puisquÆune des
partenaires favorites de FRISELL, la violoniste
JENNY SCHEINMAN est a l'oeuvre tout au long de ce
Believe. La fusion, tel le phoenix, renaitrait-elle
de ses cendres ?
Believe reflects Amendola's broad stylistic reach
and his penchant for the lyrical simplicity of folk
and alternative country music. Not jazz by any
standard definition, it's still the kind of
improvisationally-reliant music that, while clearly
rooted in other forms, couldn't be played by anyone
without a solid jazz background. Once again
Cryptogramophone fosters the freedom to blend
styles and blur boundaries, and once again Amendola
is up to the challenge."
-John Kelman, All About Jazz
"Easily one of the finest albums of 2005, Believe
is not only a jazz guitar lovers album, but a
record capable of wining the hearts of anyone with
an interest in quality improvised/composed music."
-Troy Collins, Junkmedia.org
