Entwined
‘Entwined’ (2009)
An eclectic mix of blues, jazz, rock and funk in a well tested guitar trio setting. Influenced by the contemporary guitar masters like Scott Henderson, Mike Landau, Mike Stern John Scofield, this trio ventures often outside safe musical territory. It is more and more common to find groups whose members, from different parts of the world and backgrounds, come together to create something other than ‘world music’ or ‘fusion’. In this case Italian born-Usa bread guitarist Gianni Chiarello is joined by a British rhythm section to create a powerful blend of music that borrows elements from the American jazz and funk tradition, but also from British classic rock and blues’.

From the Introduction:’I have written this book with the intent of helping the intermediate blues/rock player to break out of the well known ‘box standard pentatonic shape’ and venture towards more contemporary sounds. The blues language has developed in the last few decades from just being pentatonic based, to a more articulate language, thanks to fusion and jazz influences. I have been asked too many times during my years of teaching how to go beyond the usual pentatonic phrases that we have all heard way too many times, so I thought of collecting a wide array of ideas to steer your playing in different directions, not only harmonically, but also rhythmically’.
