Nice tunes, not just a shred fest.

Oh, and they play nicely too.

Good description. It surely is an interesting disc. I also hear the influence of some of Andy Summers' solo output on the gentler tracks. Perhaps not as melodic as Summers, but the textures sound similar to me.

Slightly off topic... but on the topic of Vinnie working on bassist's discs, has anyone else been digging Kermit Driscoll's Reveille with Vinnie and Bill Frisell? I personally think it is fantastic.

I have the Lunn CD, and really dig it!!!! I am hearing more of a comparison to John Beasley's "Surfacing" though, and I LOVE (!!!) that CD. I like Kermit's "Revellie" as well (although that one is still marinating in my ears.) I also hear the comparison to the Summers stuff. There is one Summers CD that Doug and Chad are on that is KILLIN! Herbie, Tavaglione, Bill Evans and other guests etc... RIDICULOUS!

This Lunn CD had me thinking back to the ONE (that I know of) and only time that Vinnie worked as a leader. Yamaha had a "drum day" in Japan, and Vinnie brought over Lunn and David Torn (I think?) It was before Vinnie had done his solo CD (etc.) I always wondered what that gig was like, and have never heard any reports or recordings of it. They also had Al Foster bring a band over too. I forget who the other drummers were though. Anybody?

I like Doug's musical "concept," he seems to "let" the music happen, allowing these huge soundscapes to just "evolve," and nothing feels forced. I'm a real sucker for GOOD fretless players, and Doug usually leaves a lot of space in his lines. He sounds really good on Chad Wackerman's DVD (basically just a live in the studio recording, with very minimal talk) with Doug and Mike Miller.

So, HUGE KUDO'S to Doug Lunn on "The Project!!!"
