Antoine FaFard

Ad PerPetuuM

This is the third album from bass player Antoine Fafard and it’s a stunning piece of work. But make no mistake this is not a one-man show; it’s a core trio performing at the highest level to produce ten excellent instrumental tracks. Joining Antoine on this project are Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and the amazing Jerry De Villiers Jr on guitar. Add a few guests like Gary Husband on drums, Jerry Etkins on keys and Jean-Pierre Zanella on sax and you have a heady and fruitful mix of sounds on these all-original tracks. The music is a cross between classic Bruford band and Mahavishnu Orchestra but brought into the modern era. With dynamic chord structures and nifty time signatures this album will delight the ears and occasionally tax the brain in a very pleasant manner. Late night music has just been reborn.
