Scott McKeon

New Morning IDAHO

On his third solo album, respected sideman McKeon revels in not having to rein in his guitar solos. Recorded live with a cast of session notables, New Morning is both technically adept and rich in atmosphere, with hypnotic garage-jazz opener Fight No More worthy of Santana, and Third Eye Witness a woozy dreamscape interrupted by a solo like an angry wasp. ■■■■■■■■■■
