Alejandro Farha I never thought scary chops with a Derek Bailey aesthetic was possible. This proved me wrong.

DIGITALLY REMASTERED. Dubbed one of the world's finest guitarists by numerous critics, James Emery remains unknown to many listeners. The solo "Exo Eso" is one of his absolute masterpieces and a perfect place to make his acquaintance. Imagine Derek Bailey with more of a through line and you're halfway there. Emery draws on a deep arsenal of sounds -- sparse scrawls intercut with startling flourishes; fluid torrents of notes played with abandon; moments of delicate hushed beauty. "Exo Eso" is never predictable and never stints on pleasure.

REVIEWS

4 1/2 Stars - All Music Guide

"Guitarist James Emery is a fiercely virtuosic player who handles the acoustic guitar with such range and control that comparison with his peers is difficult, since he doesn’t have many. 'Exo Eso' is one of the most ambitious, exciting, and ultimately successful recordings I have ever heard by a guitarist." - Cadence

supported by 15 fans who also own “Exo Eso”

The guitarists first solo album (like the actors first Hamlet) is a hoop that eventually has to be jumped through...and Mary Halvorson has finally risen to the challenge...a truly brilliant improviser and technician (I remember being knocked out by a performance she gave with Anthony Braxton in London),she has added layers of emotional and spiritual patina to those skills...the pre-release track here demonstrates all those qualities in spades...I see this release will include work by Noel Akchote (whose music plays a key part in my listening regime)... So,until its release "I eat the air,promise crammed"... Update! This album is now released and I can "count myself King of infinite riches"...this release catapults Mary Halvorson into a different league for me...wonderful,wonderful,wonderful! John Cratchley
