GHOST RIDGE - CD of an exciting concert with Jack's power trio stretching out on 7 of Jack's compositions.
CD - 2006. "Guitarists Jack Grassel and Kirk Tatnall have customized their instruments to allow them to play bass as wellas guitar, often simultaneously. Both are capable of incredible virtuosic soloing.
"Dane Richeson began the concert with the first of many drum solos that were nothing short of astounding. But what was striking about this band is that they clearly were having fun, despite the complexities in the music.
At one point, after an extremely mellow and emotional piece, even Grassel looked stunned, as if it were out of his hands completely. I can’t emphasize enough the caliber of this band." (Rick Tvedt)
Jack Grassel and Kirk Tatnall - superguitars, Dane Richeson - drums.
Recorded at the Cuda Cafe and mixed by Kirk Tatnall, Mastered at DNR Studios by Dave Neitzke. This was the band’s greatest night and it is preserved for everyone to hear. Liner notes by Rick Tvedt including description of each tune.
The 70 minute program allows plenty of solo room on seven of Jack’s compositions: Last Dance of the Samurai, Satisfiction, Bossa Mama, Ghost Ridge, Lacuna, Metal Head, Clouds.
