Search - Sufi Line :: Courtney Yasmineh

Sufi Line is more than a musical leap of faith; it?s also testament to the power of collaboration. Producer Rob Genadek, whose past work includes a groundbreaking turn at the helm of folk hero John Gorka?s last release, brought his innate ability to take disparate threads and weave an inspired whole. Keyboardist Jeff Victor, on loan from the Honeydogs, turned in what he claimed were "some the most innovative performances of his career." It?s a point that?s hard to argue. A trio of guitarists?Dirk Freymuth, Dean Magraw, and Jon Herchert?alternate between intuition and reason, lilting acoustic and electric hot-buttered soul, and the divine and the damned. Seminal session drummer JT Bates, along with bassists Enrique Toussaint and Jim Anton, navigates the songs according to their personal trajectories. Stated simply, music cannot feel forced when musicians are this sympathetic to the material. Enjoy.
