#160 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, Fuze's Blues, features a cat I've been chasing for years, David “Fuze” Fiuczynski. My friend and brother of the low-end Mike Rivard had recommended Fuze to me years ago and had also warned me that Fuze does what he wants when he wants...well, I gently stalked Dave, and low and behold he delivered in a big and beautiful way. Dave is a Guggenheim Fellow and a professor at Berklee. He is also the founder/leader of Screaming Headless Torsos and has played with Stewart Copeland, Dennis Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, JoJo Mayer, Marcus Miller, Bernie Worrell, MonoNeon, Billy Hart, Hasidic New Wave, Hiromi, John Medeski, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Ronald Shannon Jackson to name just a few. I'm really excited to be added to that illustrious list and hope that this won't be our last collaboration. Enjoy!
The backing band on this track is my Bay Area neighbor and buddy, Scott Amendola, (Nels Cline, Charlie Hunter) on drums, Les Izmore on rhythm guitar, and myself on bass. Mellifluously mixed and mastered by the infamous F-Bomb at NTA Studio, South San Francisco.
