Angular Blues

2020 release. The Austrian guitarist is paired here with long-time collaborator Brian Blade on drums and Scott Colley, whose especially earthy sound helps give this trio it's own dynamic. Muthspiel alternates between acoustic and electric guitar and, along with his characteristically melodic originals, plays some standards, his first-ever bebop rhythm-changes tune on record and a single guitar-only track with electronic delay imbuing the baroque-like rounds with a hypnotic glow.
