OCTAVE OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS (WITH BUCKETHEAD AND MICHAEL SHRIEVE)

These guys are redefining the power trio. Each is able to showcase awesome playing power while remaining as a unified whole. I don't know what I'll call this album, except for really cool jazz. It's like these guys know what people want to hear, so they play that. This album, however, is diverse, not a full throttle assault. They give the listener a break with easier passages, which makes the album feel a little longer than it actually is. Ex-Santana drummer Michael Shrieve is somehow able to rhythically keep these shredders in check while shredding a bit himself. Dangerous material.
