I'm really sorry that I'm reviewing this release a little late. I closed my P.O. Box and this arrived there after that. Anyway... The Trackers is a project which is including Gary Husband (British drummer and keyboard player who performed with tons of people, like Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Billy Cobham, Mike Stern, British pop/funk band Level 42, Gary Moore, Robin Trower, fusion / jam band Gongzilla, Christof Lauer Trio (with Michel Godard), Germany’s NDR Big Band, HR Big Band and others) and Alf Terje Hana (I reviewed different releases he sent me in the past, so you should know that to me he sounds like a sort of Robert Fripp a little more jazz-oriented but with the same will to experiment) that born when Gary Husband, after collaborating with Alf for the album "Invisible Colours" at the track "The Elders Too". When Allan Holdsworth, a long-time collaborator of Husband died, he thought that Alf's style would have fit well what he was having in mind. In this way, the album "Vaudeville 8:45" started to take shape. Gary Husband played drums, organ and electric piano, while Alf Terje Hana, guitars, octave guitar, synth and took care of the programming, so the only thing missing was a bass player. For this project, they wanted to call friends and old collaborators to play one track each. The call to arms reached Etienne MBappé, Jimmy Johnson, Øyvind Grong, Jimmy Haslip, Kevin Scott, Mark King, Jimmy Johnson, Øyvind Grong and Guy Pratt. Each of them brought to the tracks their personal style and even if you don't know them, you can understand that only by enjoying the tracks. How do the tracks sound? Well, the nine instrumental tracks sound kind of tense I must say, even if sometimes some free jazz or fusion improvisation rise here and there. Think about the King Crimson of the mid/late 90s (the "THRAK" period) mixed with 80s free jazz. I enjoyed the whole album and you can make your own idea by checking the album here https://garyhusband-ablx.bandcamp.com/album/vaudeville-8-45
