Song Review/ Jazz Fusion : Anthony Fesmire’s ‘Dream’
If you want to immerse yourself in the most uncommon, innovative and exciting conversation, you should listen to ‘Dream’ by Anthony Fesmire. He is a jazz fusion and a sonic improv genius who lands up in such unique spheres and finds beautiful pathways through them. This track especially is very interesting. He describes it as a flourishing interaction between heavy guitar chords and improvised organ.
While the electric guitar sets the larger frame. The piano and organ add rich harmonies and swirling sounds that create a relationship between the rock and the jazz. The rhythm is unpredictable. The spaces are ever changing. Just like you’re in a dream. So many energy shifts, sometimes led by melodic and playful jazz passages, other times by blues rock and classic rock grit. All this while setting a playful, curious and dramatic mood for the listeners to immerse in. Perfect for listeners who enjoy Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Deep Purple.
The track features Scott Smith on keyboards, David Lockeretz on bass, and Steve Tashjian on drums.
