ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO (USA)
Alex Skolnick is best known as the lead guitarist of the thrash metal band Testament from Berkeley. He left this band for a few years to devote himself to his other passion: jazz.
As a jazz guitarist, Skolnick “masters the entire jazz color scale from melodies embedded in chords, Wes Montgomery octave playing to screaming, dissonant outbursts a la Sonny Sharrock”, as Bill Milkowski wrote in Downbeat. He has worked with Stu Hamm, Joe Satriani and Allan Holdsworth.
The Alex Skrolick Trio with Matt Zebrowski on drums and double bassist Nathan Peck takes a rather unconventional approach: they take pieces from the universe of hard rock or heavy metal and transform them into bebop versions. This is a good idea, as it allows them to show off their enormous virtuosity in both worlds and show the audience where the guitar hammer hangs ...
Alex Skolnick and his trio turn hard rock and metal into absolute power jazz.
