Jazz Guitarist Joe Morris Does It His Way

Spinner.com interviews Morris about his recent release.

A jazz artist who balances a sharp ear for melody with an intellect inspired by improvisation’s outer reaches, Joe Morris is part of a community of musicians who play what has been called the downtown jazz, avant-garde, free jazz or even just free music scenes. Since he began performing on guitar in 1975, he’s carved out a reputation for himself that is up there with innovative guitarists including Derek Bailey, Eugene Chadbourne and Marc Ribot. Always in search of something new and fresh, he took up the upright bass just to broaden his possibilities as a musician.
