Creating a modern-day analogue to the exploratory studio-crafted jazz of producer Teo Macero on Miles Davis’s ‘70s albums, avant-rock maven Jim O’Rourke has pooled the talents of guitarists Alan Licht and Loren Mazzacane Connors for the large ensemble work HOFFMAN ESTATES. Navigating hitherto untamed waters at the intersection of post-minimalism, ensemble freedom, and blues-based howl, Licht, Connors and cohorts attempt to free guitar music from the shackles of rock convention, not to mention classic Western tonality. ~Dave Shim
