Glaser / Lewis / Lockett : Jammin'
2002, Glaser / Lewis / Locket

Jammin' from Jamie Glaser, John Lewis, and Tommy Lockett is collection of free form fusion improvisational tracks. Lewis and Lockett set down the groove on the Drums and Bass, respectively, for Glaser to go off with his fusion-ish extempore on guitar. The trio have some obvious talent, though the format is not the conventional driving, focused format one might expect from fusion. Instead, it is more of a loose format that is intended to allow liberal latitude for exploration and improvisation.

The first track, "Stella", is a loose guitar jam set to a groove laid down by the rhythm section. The second track, "Footprints", is another loose jam that integrates fragments of themes from the Beatles classic "Eleanor Rigby", that are articulated with some interesting harmonization. The jam is laid back, but features some tasty phrasings in parts, though it seems to wander aimlessly in other parts. But, that is just the nature of the loose jam that is the format the trio improvises. The third track, "Israel", is a funk-based blues groove with more focus that again features the guitar extempore of Jamie Glaser. Glaser demonstrates his array of gritty riffs, funky chops, and speed with some sparsely occurring briskly paced interludes. The final track, "Bass Drums", features the grooving bass soloing of Tommy Lockett played over the groove set down by John Lewis.
