Steve Tibbetts - Yr
Year: 1980
Label: ECM (1988)
Total time: 38:23
Bitrate: 320 kbps

Tibbetts makes metallic folk music for disenfranchised folks. He's an elegant and multifaceted player, his compositions making use of exotic jungle rhythms (courtesy of longtime foil Marc Anderson), jazz-rock signatures, and regal European atmospheres. Tibbetts is one of the more idiosyncratic guitarists of the jazz/rock interface, with an uncanny ability to softly fondle his instrument yet rearrange its vocabulary to resemble nothing less than a sitar or tabla.

The opening "Ur" begins with a pigeon's rush of flailing acoustic guitar before electric strings start to sizzle through the air like errant lightning. The incorporation of tablas, vases, bells, and sundry percussive devices gives the recording a noticeably Middle Eastern flavor. YR is much like rich Gypsy music as played by accomplished technology-savvy types intent on extolling the true virtues of their music. Tibbets and Anderson make beautiful, cascading music for those times when trad jazz just doesn't cut it, the mind has had it with new age, and the heart needs just the right hunk of rock. ~CD Universe

Reissued on ECM from original independent label release in Minneapolis. A perfect study item in regards to recording techniques and musicality. Guitarist has no boundaries on this insistently creative set. ~ Michael G. Nastos, AMG

FreeDB notes: This is a must for every guitar player/ music fun. It's solid, strong and innovative with Steve playing at his best. It has beautiful moments and also some hard ones with the electric guitar screaming and jumping all over the place. It's amazing how this composer captures all the escense of the instrument and creates an atmosphere that can vary a 100% during the track/song. Probably this is the most mature and coherent work of Steve as of today. If you really appreciate the innovatives works on the guitar, such as the ones related to Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, David Torn or Pat Metheny you should have this record, which I think is one of the best (ever). ~ Eugenio Rojas Bravo, Amazon.com
