Marc Ducret - Détail (1997)

Review by Scott Yanow

This set of introspective guitar solos by Marc Ducret is melodic and rhythmic, but generally all the same volume, with little memorable development or sparks flying. The packaging is rather weird, with the titles (all originals) scribbled in graffiti and the brief liner notes (translated into six languages) only talking a bit about the location, but not saying a word about the music. As it is, Ducret's recital is often quite dull and the end results are both sleepy and a bit disturbing, well played but forgettable.
