Review

JazzTimes (p.123) - "King's virtuosity and visual presence may have put her on the map, but it's her flair for mood-setting and harmonic surprise that should keep her there."

Title Note

Personnel: Kaki King (guitar); Erik Friedlander (cello); David Torn (piano, bass guitar, drums); Conrad Korsch (double bass); Will Calhoun, Ben Perowsky (drums).

Recording information: The Clubhouse, Rhinebeck, NY.

Acoustic-guitar virtuoso Kaki King's sophomore effort improves on the dynamic instrumental compositions of her debut to include a wider range of textures, moods, and ever-evolving structures. King is also backed by a cadre of supremely sensitive musicians on LEGS TO MAKE US LONGER, and the cello, violin, upright bass, and drums add rich, complex color to King's already-sophisticated playing. Except for an electric guitar on the eerily quiet "Can the Gwot Save Us?" and King's under-the-radar singing on "My Insect Life," the spotlight is on the guitarist's stunning technique, which, even through its rapid-fire bass lines and ringing harmonics, never sounds flashy or forced.

Based on the meditative, space-filled opener, "Frame," listeners might associate King's work with the moody, avant-garde ambient jazz often found on the ECM label. The comparison is an apt one--King spins atmospheric landscapes from her fretboard, whether via nimble finger-picking (the spiraling melodies on "Doing the Wrong Thing") or the mathematical, push-pull patterns of "Solipsist." Regardless of her associations, King is a distinctive, accomplished musician. Her instrumental prowess is almost easy to overlook, in fact, because it is employed so artfully in the service of her hypnotic, nuanced, and lovely music.
