Details: Dean Magraw and Eric Kamau Gravatt are two jazz masters who join forces on Fire on the Nile for a cosmic aural romp that is spontaneous, bare bones, profound and dazzling. Gravatt (Weather Report, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, Tony Hymas) and jazz and world music virtuoso guitarist Magraw (Jack McDuff, Greg Brown, Altan) have been playing mind-bending shows together for more than two years and this is the first recording to capture that magic. brbrUsing only guitar and drum set, the music is startlingly stripped down but the result is expansive, thrilling and at times symphonic. We went the Coltrane direction, says Magraw. I really studied his compositions and the way he played music, improvised and writes music. Magraw found and connected with a kindred spirit in Gravatt, a Philly native who d grown up immersed in the city s rich multi-cultural music scene. Fire on the Nile captures these two seasoned players at the top of their game for this foray into melodicrhythmic interplay.
