Varese Records artist: Trevor Rabin - Jacaranda - New Release Review

Trevor Rabin has put together Jacaranda, an exceptional new recording of intelligent, classically influenced fusion music. I would call it fusion in that it really doesn't fall clearly into any category that is clearly defined but it does broach classical, bluegrass, jazz, rock and likely a number of others that I haven't mentioned. The recording is comprised of 12 original tracks all written by Rabin, and also who played most of the instruments. One track which contrasts with the balance of the recording, Zoo Lake, is mostly oriented around a very strong melody. Rabin, an accomplished guitarist and pianist has formerly had his own band, Rabbit, and was a featured guitarist, singer and songwriter with Yes prior to working as a composer for the soundtracks of over 3 dozen films. He is joined by a few very special guests like the incredible Vinnie Colaiauta on drums and bass phenom Tal Wilkenfeld, both who have toured extensively with Jeff Beck. If you have any orientation at all to instrumental music and especially if you like fusion style music, this is a cd that you should hear.
