Additional personnel: John Abercrombie (guitar); Danny Gottlieb (drums). Audio Mixer: Richard Brownstein. Liner Note Authors: Danny Gottlieb; Mark Egan. Photographers: Mark Egan; Richard Brownstein. Atmospheric and serpentine, the two-disc As We Speak finds electric fretless bassist Mark Egan leading his trio through a series of enigmatic and propulsive original songs. An acolyte of the late great bassist Jaco Pastorious, Egan has a lithe touch on his instrument, and tracks such as the leadoff "Spirals" evince a hypnotic, fusion-esque aesthetic. Joining Egan here are the equally superb jazz giants guitarist John Abercrombie and drummer Danny Gottlieb. These are three technical dynamos as well as artists sensitive to creative group interplay. Cuts such as "Dream Sequence" showcase this as Abercrombie and Egan both lay down harmonic lines against each other allowing Gottlieb to fill in the background with organic cymbal flourishes and flickering drum patterns. Cinematic and expansive, As We Speak has a real spark of intimacy and is a truly engaging work. ~ Matt Collar Producer: Mark Egan; Mark Egan Engineer: Jeff Ciampa   Associated Artists and Works Dade Thelonius Bach's Lunch ~ Laibson, Jeff Malone, Tom "Bones" Roth, Gabrielle Roth, Gabrielle   Technical Info Release Date : 06/19/2007 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 8640 Label : Wavetone Number of Discs : 2 Runtime : 102m : 21s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00755603864022    Related Videos Randy Jackson: Randy Jack...
