Brad Hammonds
Hammonds’ 2012 release “Greene Street” reveals how Hammonds plays in the moment. His freshness and spontaneous vitality reverberate on this textured acoustic, instrumental album with rock drive. Joined at his intimate downtown studio by a beautifully close friends and wildly creative collaborators, Hammonds exhibits his trademark depth and flair for thoughtfully deployed technique.
With top improvisers and interpreters Will Martina (cello; Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber), Mathias Kunzli (percussion; Regina Spektor) and Jason DiMatteo (bass; Burnt Sugar), Hammonds explores rolling Celtic lines inspired by Led Zeppelin, Middle Eastern beats, and flamenco flourishes. The band revels in modal lines, shifting time signatures, and expansive solos, without losing their musical momentum.
