Jeff Gburek (b.1963) comes sliding into my listening experience on a preview of a CD soon to be released on the Nurnichtnur label in Germany. Even though I might be a bit jaded and inconsiderate due to excessive listening to new audio projects, I must say that this Gburek CD inspires me a lot; even surprises me at times! In fact, at first I didn’t understand much. I knew or thought I knew - that this was supposed to be a guitarist CD; kind of a solo venture. Yet the sounds and the concepts were so varied and smoothly disjointed; beautifully arbitrary… that I just couldn’t merge with the inner picture of a lone guitarist… I dug a bit deeper and got the guy online, or almost online, in a series of email exchanges.
