Beledo: Seriously Deep

Born in Uruguay and now stationed in New York, guitarist, pianist and composer Beledo teams up with bassist Tony Levin and drummer Kenny Grohowski (and some guests) for seven rich fusioned originals. Each song is a majesterial journey, with Jorge Camiruaga’s vibes advancing the charge on “Seriously Deep” and veering around Levin and the leader on the  pretty “Maggie’s Sunrise”. Beledo’s electric guitar rocks hard with Grohowski on “A Temple In The Valley” along with Boris Savoldelli’s rich voice, whereas Kearoma Rantato provides rich vocal textures to Beledo’s elliptical “Mama D”. Beledo’s soloing on these pieces is reminiscent of Allan Holdsworth, with technical acuity, sophisticated directions and grey matter’d harmonies. Left brained rocking.
