Evolving Strategies
by Variable Density Sound Orchestra
About This Release
A recording by the Variable Density Sound Orchestra, the large ensemble forged by Garrison Fewell, the American guitarist‑educator steeped in the spiritual currents of creative music. Released by Not Two in 2014, Evolving Strategies drives a coalition of New York and Boston improvisers through Fewell’s expansive, texturally charged large‑group vision, powered by soloists John Tchicai, Roy Campbell Jr., and Steve Swell, and anchored by the superb rhythm duo of Dmitry Ishenko and Reggie Nicholson.
