Guitar Aficionado
The debut release from guitarist Avi Granite’s New York City–based quartet is at once intimate and spacious, a cocoon of enveloping musical passages and revelatory compositional turns. Snow Umbrellas features nine mostly mid-tempo excursions on which Granite and trumpeter Ralph Alessi nudge and prod their improvisations into glorious flight. Granite’s tone is pure and warm, and his playing emotive, particularly on “Wayne Winks at the Radio,” where his expository sliding legato lines establish a plangent mood, and the undulating “Barnacles,” on which he strokes chords into arpeggiated waves as Jerry DeVore makes his bass strings groan like the plates of a steel-hulled ship. Rewarding, and highly recommended.
