I'm Not a Gun

I'm Not a Gun features John Tejada on drums, guitar and electronics, and Takeshi Nishimoto, who adds the licks on blissful guitar and bass reverberations. With airy gestures and a sunny state of mind, they jam themselves into textures which have learned their lesson from the best records of the Chicago acoustic school: jazzrock does not have to be a pretentious monster, but can sing a poem of colloquial communication. As soon as structure wins over the solo, dialogue over technical skills and the lightness of swing over the pathos of improvisation, a new dreamlike soundscape is opened.

In a cheerful dizzyness these instrumentals seem to plan themselves, accepting no control from the outside world.
