Fait Accompli
Near The Circle
John Fordham The Guardian April 2002
The all-guitar jazz front-line isn't unheard of, but the Scottish Guitar Quartet certainly stray into unorthodox territory by banishing a rhythm section and being entirely acoustic. They feature some attractive original material that diverts them from the usual jazz guitar canters through the standards. Celtic folk-roots mingle with Pat Metheny country-balladeering on This Is Just to Say; a foray into bebop sounds like the Hot Club of France playing a Charlie Parker tune; there are occasional baroque and flamenco embroideries, and some effective soundbox percussion on Twisted to the Four. The Metheny effect is a little cloying at times and the soloing occasionally fills spaces rather than expanding them. One for the unplugged-guitar lovers.
