Synopsis

Product Description
With The Tempest is Over , his new improvised duo record with cellist Kevin Davis, former Chicagoan Woody Sullender continues to find unexplored terrain for the banjo, weeding out any reference to bluegrass or old-timey music. In his hands the instrument sometimes evokes those of other cultures - the oud on "Strata Collide," the pipa on "Knocking Dust" - but his MO is singular: wonderfully strangulated tangles of notes arrive in brief bursts, then recede into gentle arpeggios or ominous single-note runs. Davis is a wonderful accompanist cushioning Sullender's brittle sound in mahogany chords and spectral harmonics." -Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
