Info for Last Century

In Montreal, der Heimatstadt von Steve Raegele, war er schon durchaus einer größeren Schar von jungen Leuten bekannt – als Gitarrist von Psycho-Rockbands. Seine Schulung allerdings erhielt er von wichtigen Jazzmusikern (Joe Lovano, Kurt Rosenwinkel, bei denen er Masterclasses besuchte). Aber Steve selbst würde sich keinem Genre final zuordnen – und das gelingt einem mit ‚Last Century‘ ebenfalls nicht. Extravagantes Gitarren-Album mit Anspruch auf Offenheit.

'Still, whether Raegele's wonderfully textured and wonderfully disturbing music is meant to cap the turbulent 20th century or reveal a century yet to come—in other words, the last century—remains a mystery. And the music is better for it.'

 (Matt Marshall, All About Jazz)
