This recent album by fusion guitarist Scott Henderson shows why he always packs the house of the Baked Potato when he regularly comes to town. He’s in a power trio with Romain LaBaye/b and Archibald Ligonniere/dr, mixing up highly energized tunes with classy lyricism. His chops are reminiscent of Allan Holdsworth in their sophisticated harmonics, complex and creative on the title tune, and tasty on the soft “ Greene Mansion”. LaBaye and Ligonniere get snappy on the kinetic “ Covid Vaccination” and cut a deep groove on “Haunted Ballroom” with some hip boogieing on the hammering “Carnie’s Time”. Henderson makes the impossible look easy throughout, and even the bluesy “Bilge Rat” has more colors than a prism. Fun and funky!
