The extraordinary guitarist Rez Abbasi and his Acoustic Quintet (quartet members Bill Ware, Stephan Crump, and Eric McPherson, with the addition of master percussionist Hasan Bakr), release their soaring new album Sound Remains on June 27 via Whirlwind Recordings.
“Track of the week. Stimulating fusion from guitarist Rez Abbasi and his quintet measured out by the 12/8 groove found within ‘Presence’ … the vibes line from Bill Ware dominates the top frequencies of the sound shadowed ingeniously by Abbasi.” – Stephen Graham, Marlbank
