A wildly diverse improviser/composer/arranger with a penchant for
unorthodox instrumental combinations, guitarist Joel Harrison has
sustained one of the most unpredictable discographies of the last
decade with his chimerical mix of jazz, blues, chamber music, African and
Indian folk music, Appalachian tunes and old school country songs. On
URBAN MYTHS, Joel puts his focus on the electric jazz that influenced
him growing up in the 1970's. By virtue of Harrison's singular writing
and a phenomenal performance by seasoned veterans, URBAN MYTHS
is a major achievement and one of the most interesting records of the
year, regardless of genre.
