GITBOX REBELLION Pesky Digits http://www.rattle.co.nz/index.htm GITBOX: Pidgeon for the group's chosen instrument. REBELLION: A subversion of the orthodoxy in the guitar's jazz/blues/rock tradition. More orchestra than ensemble, Gitbox Rebellion shows the influence of guitarcraft guru Robert Fripp in a new context. Nine acoustic guitars. Nine players, Nothing more, and nothing less. 'Two Iguanas' is a High-Life groove, with all the musical roles acted out on guitar. In the sprawling Pesky Digits Igor Stravinsky meets Pete Townshend, only to find they have a lot in common. Ambience abounds throughout, and the minimalists get a look in here and there. Not in 'Connecticut Yankee' though. It's a street march, sans brass. This delightful Nonet features the amazing talents of Nigel Gavin (Nairobi Trio/Blue Botton Stompers et al) and Kim Halliday. Click on album image to see larger album cover![]() ![]() |
