His guitar work has always been ferocious, but that zeal was often an introspective intensity. Here, his sound is extroverted and unreserved. Morris performs in trio with his guitar protege Chris Cretella, who like Morris often does, plays bass. Here, electric bass to Morris’ electric guitar. The trio is complete with drummer Dave Parmelee, who has more in common with Chris Corsano and Ronald Shannon Jackson than he does with Paul Motian and Billy Higgins.
