Greg Howard Band

Espresso Records, 2000

REVIEW BY: Christopher Thelen

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 03/20/2001

If you've never heard of the Chapman Stick, you've missed out onsomething special in the world of music. A unique-looking item, youpress on the strings instead of plucking them, allowing you to playthe instrument like a piano instead of a guitar. The Stick allowsyou two-handed access, meaning you can play treble and bass linesat the same time. Tony Levin is one of the best-known performerswho uses the Stick; I've seen John Myung of Dream Theater play onein concert. I've even had the chance to try one out myself, thoughI admit I looked at the instrument like a monkey trying to do amath problem.

Greg Howard is called one of the instrument's best players, andhas several albums' worth of Stick-related music out. Lift, the latest from the Greg Howard Band, has a fewmoments of greatness, but otherwise comes off sounding like DaveMatthews Band trying to play smooth jazz.

Admittedly, the sound of this group is one you have to get usedto; the "guitar player" you think you hear is actually Howard onthe Stick. Yet Howard isn't the person who remains in the spotlightthroughout this disc; his bandmates - drummer/percussionist JanWolfkamp, saxophonist/violinist Hubert Heeringa, and bassist Janvan Olffen - take their time in front of the band, as does guestsaxophonist Louis Gerrits.

This might actually be the problem with Lift. It's not that these musicians aren't talented; rather,it's that the Stick becomes part of the rhythmic backbone, not thecenterpiece of the disc as I would have expected. Add into this mixa strange eclectic mix of jazz and pseudo new-age, and theresulting disc is less than satisfying.

- How to Carry Your Kayak Georgia

Carrying a kayak could be a pain in the neck, literally! Think of the fact that the kayak's length and weight are almost twice your own. There are different types of kayaks, and each type of kayak also has a different weight, depending on the material used. Kayaks made from Kevlar are the lightest compared to others. Kayaks made of wood are heavier, and so forth.
