Jefferson Pitcher, Hirondelles
Long standing guitar improvisationalist Jefferson Pitcher enters the world of the cassette tape. Though the reels and plastic would seem a prison in which to prevent Pitcher’s talents from shining through, Hirondelles is a multi-layered work rich with invention and style. Released via Digitalis, Hirondelles is rife with minimalist trapping, hypnotic repetition, and beautifully crafted melodies from the mind of the musician/filmmaker. All the stronger is Pitcher’s ability to be respectfully innovative, calling to mind greats such as Chatham, Connors, and Montgomery, without lifting their signature.
