about
Intakt CD 149
The guitarist Elliot Sharp is oneof the most striking personalities of the New York Downtown scene. Along with John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot, Sharp has been at the heart of the post 80s innovations which took improvised, composed and electronic music beyond their boundaries, to merge them with jazz, blues and rock. Since then Sharp has expanded his musical radius. In addition to jazz, he plays in hardcore groups, cyberpunk bands, and has composed an impressive body of work for string quartets, theatre and orchestras.
The CD of Concert in Dachau is one of Elliott Sharp’s most important recordings as a soloist. Musically it is a kind of remix of different solo programmes for electro-acoustic guitar. But it is more than that. As a jewish musician, Sharp is a descendant of parents who escaped the Holocaust, for which Dachau stands as a synonym. This makes ‘Concert in Dachau’ a very personal and moving statement from a political artist.

WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUWANT
by Peter Brötzmann / Sonny Sharrocksupported by 8 fans who also own “Concert in Dachau”
Sharrock is a force of nature. His playing is always interesting, exciting, spontaneous and very visceral. Players in most genres, especially metal, could stand to learn a thing or two from him.

Bending Bridges
by Mary Halvorsonsupported by 8 fans who also own “Concert in Dachau”
Mary Halvorson’s 9 year old recording is all what it needs to be, bold, playful, inventive, and a bit “weird” as she might put it. An absolute joy to listen to, never too abstract to completely lose track of rhythm and never, never boring. MH has got the rare ability to stimulate brain and heart at the same time. Just wish they would reissue her 2 first albums on vinyl.
