David Fiuczynski is without a doubt one of the greatest guitarists in the world of jazz and rock today, both from a technical and from a creative/compositional stanpoint.

Originally known as the funanbolic guitarist and founder of funk-jam band Screaming Headless Torsos, David has since evolved his craft immeasurably via a string of remarkable releases which investigate and develop the integration of microtonal canons and techniques with western grooves.

Planet MicroJam is guitar maestro and master composer David Fiuczynski's most complete statement in creating a true music to unite eastern and western music traditions, by associating Eastern (and African) microtonal scales to western groove.

The result is a music tapestry quite unheard of before yet profoundly emotional and dance-inducing.

Combining his ongoing interests in microtonality, jazz harmony, ethnic folk melodies and groove, guitar visionary and Berklee College of Music educator, Professor David “Fuze” Fiuczynski has arrived at the global crossroads on Planet MicroJam, his audacious and mesmerizing debut on RareNoiseRecords. Drawing on the influence of classical composers and microtonal pioneers like Julian Carrillo, Alois Haba and Ivan Wyschnagradsky, Fuze adds in his own unique flavors, inherent sense of groove and improvisational daring on fretless electric guitar on this cutting edge release that takes his Planet MicroJam® concept to the next frontier.

"...This is some righteous stuff! ... Planet Microjam is a guaranteed mind blower for guitar fans and theory geeks alike. Going outside the box is indeed a good thing..." CriticalJazz

“Cutting edge sounds that define today’s musical landscape.” – Billboard

“…Fiuczynski’s prodigious technique [uses] a myriad of processed tones. He percolates, warbles, wails and generates, in the end, some jaw-dropping moments.” – JazzTimes
