CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description On March 15, 2007, Alex Skolnick Trio will unleash "Last Day In Paradise" on Magnatude Records. It consists of seven original compositions along with three arrangements of hard rock 'standards,' (a concept upon which the trio has built a strong reputation as an instrumental group that appeals to straight-ahead jazz fans and rock fans alike). Feeling the inspiration of European jazz and other influences, the group has now gone beyond the limitations of the traditional guitar trio format on many of the songs, incorporating electronic loops ('Last Day In Paradise'), vocal melodies ('Mercury Retrograde') and slide guitar ('Western Sabbath Stomp'). There are also special effects, bowed bass tracks and other studio embellishments, resulting in their most original and cutting edge album to date. The new album also includes a Latin version of the Testament song `Practice What You Preach' (which Alex originally co-wrote) and a live electronica inspired version of Rush classic 'Tom Sawyer.'

CD ReviewsAS GOOD AS ADVERTISED J. Call | Albany, NY | 09/15/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'd heard about Skolnick's jazz trio, but hadn't listened to them prior to buying this disc. I was betting I'd like it solely on the merits of Alex's playing in Testament. I was right. I'm no jazz guy, but I'm a fan of AST now. All three musicians are excellent, the arrangements are neat, stylish and precise. The 'covers' of Tom Sawyer and Revelations Mother Earth are impressive and the aptly titled Western Sabbath Stomp is nothing short of inspired. I don't know enough of the 'rules' of jazz to critique the originals, I just thought they flowed well and were interesting to listen to-- just what you'd want in something you put in a stereo. Check it out, whether you liked him in Testament or not--makes no difference." Used Guaranteed Michele Obbi | 06/30/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is used but it is as if it were new, when I arrived satisfaction was great, almost to a new low price
