From the musical mastermind that brought you ProgJect – The Ultimate Prog Rock Experience, Jonathan Mover now delivers the same for Jazz-Rock: PffT – A Modern Take on Classic Fusion.
Similar to ProgJect, Mover has assembled a variety of medleys, as a tribute and homage to the masters of Fusion, a.k.a. Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham, Allan Holdsworth, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams, Weather Report, and Brand X, to begin with. Also similar to ProgJect, this music is not easy to play nor is it for the faint of heart, it was going to take a select few from an even smaller pool to choose from in order to make this other “dream gig” come true.
Mike Keneally was Mover‘s first thought: “On any instrument he wants to play,” and happily welcomed Mike‘s immediate reply, “Absolutely! Can I play keyboards?” Done. It was Keneally that recommended Bryan Beller on bass, someone Mover was very familiar with but had not had the opportunity to play with, until now. The guitar spot was the last to fill. There were the obvious fusion monsters out there, but one ‘new name,’ recommended by many, kept coming up, “Andrew Synowiec,” so Mover started making calls. The initial response from several was, “This sounds amazing, please send me some medleys to check out.” The next response was, “This stuff IS amazing, but would take way too many brain cells,” except for one… Andrew Synowiec, “I’m down.”
And thus, PffT was formed.
